Ministry Spotlight - Reformed University Fellowship (RUF)

This week's spotlight focuses on the Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) at UTK, a Presbyterian student ministry. According to its Web site, RUF aims to "be a ministry for UTK, not simply for ourselves. Rather than pulling students away from campus, we encourage them to involve themselves in all that campus life has to offer. We seek to train students to engage and serve the university from a distinctly Christian perspective. We also desire to provide an open door for non-Christians interested in exploring Christianity."

RUF offers a number of programs including:

• Large group meetings - This worship service meets every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Room 210 of the Alumni Memorial Building (AMB). It's a opportunity for students to engage in worship in praise and sermon.
  
  
• Sunday night fellowship - Each Sunday at 7:30 p.m., members meet at a local home for fellowship, food, and a brief devotion. For more info, click here.
  
  
• Small group Bible studies - These small groups meet every week in order to study the gospel and allow students to build relationship through scripture. A list of small groups can be found here.
  
  
• One-on-one meetings - If you're looking for a one-on-one talk, you can also have a meeting with one of the staff at RUF. For more info, click here.
  
  
• Dinner Fellowship groups - If you're looking to get even more involved, you can join the Monday night or Thursday night group and enjoy fellowship and good food.
  
  
• Conferences and retreats - RUF also has winter, spring break, and summer conferences/retreats where students can get away from Knoxville, relax, mingle, work together in service, and participate in the gospel. For more information about retreats, check here.
