Officially, you could say that RUF (Reformed University Fellowship) is a Christian student organization at KSU, but that doesn't say too much. We're a community of college students who seek to know Jesus, praise Him in all we say and do, share Him with others who haven't heard, and loving each other, the world, and His Church.
We invite you to check us out regardless of your religious persuasion, denominational affiliation, or personal beliefs. RUF is here for the convinced, the confused, the curious, and the cynical. We minister to the lost and the found; the bruised, the broken, the bored, and the believer. Regardless of where you stand on the spiritual spectrum, we hope that you will come and evaluate the truth claims of Christianity and see what the gospel is all about.

RUF brings to the campus a heart for God, a love for the campus and convictions that are well formed, deeply held, and which allow us to bring a fully-orbed ministry to students for the purpose of reaching them for Christ and equipping them to serve. This is accomplished through the application of a philisophy of ministry that is biblically informed and pastorally sensitive. It is consistent with the God-given role of the Church on campus to reach and equip students to love and serve Jesus Christ and his Church. Our goals are...
Growth in Grace - RUF aims to help students understand and use the means of grace, which God has provided for Christian growth. This includes studying the Bible, developing a prayer life, understanding worship, and depending on the Holy Spirit in order for us to die to sin and grow in righteousness.
Evangelism and Missions - RUF must proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to the university community with the hope of reaching the world. We take seriously Christ's command to go and make disciples. So we are witnessing to the truth about God and man in the world of academic, relativistic thought, and we are depending upon the Holy Spirit to draw students to trust in Christ as Savior and serve him as King.
Fellowship and Service - Because Christians are united to Christ, they are also united to other believers. As Christians learn to participate by using their gifts and strengths, the body of Christ is built up. It also means reaching out as a loving, believing community to the university community -- demonstrating what it means to be a Christian.
Biblical World and Life View - Christianity is a way of seeing all of life. We believe that God is at work in the world, upholding his creation and ruling over all his creatures. His revealed truth is the integrating principle for all knowledge. This provides the Christian with a frame of reference for thinking and life-style.
