RUF is the college campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church of America (PCA).  Though we are sent to the campus by the PCA, we seek to share the love and grace of God with students from all religious or denominational backgrounds.  Our stated purpose is to reach students for Christ and equip them to serve Him.

​

Jesus said, "I am making all things new!" RUF was born out of a desire not to abandon the campus, nor to be lost in it. It is the dream of RUF to be a ministry "for our campus", not for ourselves. This hope is founded in the belief that the gospel can change any person and any place.

​

Our leading question is not "what kind of ministry can we be?" but rather "what kind of university can this be?" Our dream is to see DSU (both her people and institutions) transformed by the power and beauty of the presence of Christ.
