RUF is not a youth group for older kids. We are ministry aimed at helping students transition from adolescence to young adulthood, from merely what their parents believed for them and taught them to what they believe for themselves.
It is presupposed that students enter Emory to develop academically and intellectually. They are preparing to be doctors, lawyers, teachers, and accountants. However, their education extends well beyond the walls of the classrooms and lecture halls. Everywhere they turn they are confronted by alternate beliefs and ideologies about the meaning of and how to apply what they are learning.
In addition to being exciting and sometimes intimidating, the diversity of perspectives at Emory is fertile soil for the GOSPEL. RUF seeks to enter into the wonderful exchange of ideas. We affirm the university experience and are not afraid of it, believing that if God’s truth really is TRUE, then it will flourish when examined honestly. Our prayer is that Christian students grow in grace and in their love for their fellow students and see Emory as an excellent place to live out their faith in an authentic way and that non-Christian students see RUF as an open door, wherein they can investigate the claims of Christ, have their questions respectfully addressed, and will be well loved.
