RUF - The University of Tennessee

WELCOME...Regardless of your beliefs or doubts, RUF is a place for you to explore Christianity and grow in your understanding of who Jesus is and what it means to follow him in community with others at The University of Tennessee.    We are here for the “convinced” and the “unconvinced,” the lost, the found, the burned, bored, cynical, spiritual. We invite you, no matter where you are in the process, to RUF.

RUF Winter Conference 2012

February 24-26, Fall Creek Falls State Park

Join other RUF's from Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky for a weekend getaway at the beautiful Fall Creek Falls State Park. Meet some new people and enjoy the outdoors. Hike to the waterfall, play some frisbee, or just relax. There will also be some Large Group worship time and some great seminars. Our main speaker will be Chad Scruggs, RUF campus minister at Southern Methodist University (and UT grad...go Vols!). This is a great way to make some new friends and get more connected in RUF. We'd love to have you join us!

Spring Break Mission Trip: Chicago, IL

Saturday, March 17 - Saturday, March 24

“In cities, you have more image of God per square inch than anywhere else in the world.” – Tim Keller

Tennessee RUF is excited to once again partner with Sunshine Gospel Ministries in Chicago. This spring break, we'll be bringing a group up to Chicago to participate in Sunshine's Bridge Builders program. Bridge Builders is a service and learning experience designed to help us grow in a biblical and gospel-centered view of the poor. While we will be serving in the context of urban Chicago, our other goal is to learn valuable lessons that we can bring back with us to serve the poor and seek justice in our own community of Knoxville.
