RUF’s University Church Initiative (UCI) seeks to plant churches alongside new RUF ministries in university towns and cities. This initiative grew organically before it had a name, as former RUF campus ministers moved on to plant churches in their “native habitat” (university towns from San Jose, California to Burlington, Vermont), often partnering with an ordained campus minister to establish a new RUF work.

The core of this initiative— campus ministers reaching students and new church communities welcoming, feeding and loving them—reflects the strength of RUF’s commitment to connect students to the local church. RUF’s University Church Initiative aims to extend this symbiotic partnership to university centers throughout the US and abroad.

Filmed in Atlanta, Madison, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and Tulsa.
