Reformed University Fellowship (RUF)
Mission Manager: Landon Vick
Phone: 931-319-8534
Email: landonvick@gmail.com
Jeff Wilkins is the new campus minister for RUF at Tennessee Tech. Our mission is to support and encourage him in his efforts. We can do this through prayer, being a good church to RUF students, feeding RUF students, and generally getting involved with the lives of the students that RUF brings us.
(The following paragraph is taken from the RUF website)
RUF is a Christian campus ministry providing opportunities to learn what the Bible teaches and put it into practice in our everyday lives. In RUF, we want to emphasize the importance of both doctrine and life. This means that the gospel must be understood if it’s to be lived, and also that it must be lived if it’s to be truly understood.
Though we are Presbyterian in affiliation, we welcome students from all walks of life, both the “convinced” and the “unconvinced’. None of us has it all together, but we are people deeply committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ, believing it has the power to change any person, any community, any culture.
