Welcome to RUF at Auburn! RUF is a community of students on Auburn's campus that takes God's word seriously and we take following Jesus seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We want to be a place where anyone from any walk of can feel a sense of belonging and experience what it's like to be loved by God and by his people.

Meet Our Team
Tanner Crum
Tanner, Kelsey and Spender Crum come from Greenville, South Carolina. Tanner and Kelsey went to the University of South Carolina where they were first introduced to RUF as students. After college, they moved to Greenville and Tanner worked as an RUF intern at Furman University. In 2015, Tanner began his seminary career at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte where he received his M.Div. and Kelsey founded a mobile dance outreach non-profit organization called Carolina Dance Collaborative. During his time in seminary, Tanner worked at Downtown Presbyterian Church, Grace and Peace Presbyterian Church and was an Interim Campus Minister at Wofford College. Needless to say, they love RUF and are excited to be a part of the work God is doing at Auburn!

Chris Duncan
Chris was born in West Point, Georgia, right down the road from Auburn, but grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee. After high school, he graduated college from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a major in Finance and minor in Leadership.

He likes spending time outside, whether its playing pickleball, running, or just anything that keeps him active with his friends. In his spare time, he enjoys reading and listening to the Avett Brothers. Chris is so excited to move to Auburn and get to know all of the students there!
