Way Rutherford
Way was born and raised in Meridian, MS, and attended Ole Miss (University of Mississippi) from 1996-2000. After graduation, Way worked for three years at Christ Presbyterian Church in Oxford with junior and senior high. Way married Amy Davis in 2002 and they moved to Jackson, MS, to attend Reformed Theological Seminary and work with senior high students at First Presbyterian. After graduation in May of 2007, Way and Amy moved to Louisville, KY, to begin RUF at the University of Louisville. In KY, the family grew to include Miles (2008), Davis (2010), and Lucy (2013). In June of 2014, the Rutherfords moved to Waco, TX, to do RUF at Baylor University.
Lauren Danforth
Lauren grew up in Sheboygan, Wisconsin (also known as the Malibu of the Midwest). From 2019-2023, she attended Liberty University, where she graduated with a B.S. in Music and minors in Women’s Leadership and Theology. In Lauren’s time at Liberty, God brought RUF into her life and used it to teach her that his grace and love in Christ are not for those who are perfect, but for those who know they need him. Lauren moved to Waco in 2023 to serve as an RUF intern at Baylor. Two years was not nearly long enough at Baylor, so Lauren is thrilled to be staying to serve as Campus Staff! Some of her favorite things are taking long walks outside, playing pickleball, watching sports, wandering through grocery stores, and baking cakes.
Caeden Watrous
Caeden grew up in North Richland Hills, Texas. He graduated from University of Texas at Arlington in Spring of 2024 with a degree in Construction Management. Caeden was brought into RUF his sophomore year and it completely changed his college experience. To have a community of believers his age growing in faith in Christ was the highlight of his time at UTA. It was in RUF that he learned the beauty of God's grace and the value of gospel centered ministry. Some things Caeden loves to do for fun would be listening to good music, spending time outside, whether that be taking walks or playing sports, and maintaining his fresh water fish tanks. Caeden is so excited to get the opportunity to do ministry with the wonderful people and students who call Baylor home!
