Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) is the campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). Though we exist on campus through the PCA, you will find students from a wide variety of backgrounds here at Belhaven University, because we welcome students from any and all walks of life. We are here for the "convinced" and the "unconvinced." It is our aim to reach students for Christ and equip them to serve in His church in all their various callings and vocations.

Bentley Crawford
Bentley has been married to his wife, Sarah Love, for over 10 years. They have four children that keep them on their toes: Lila Grace, Annie, Luke, and Camp. Bentley is originally from Meridian, MS and Sarah Love from Jackson, MS. Both of them graduated from the University of Mississippi in 2006 and 2007 where they both met and each came to understand the gospel in a saving way due in large part to the campus ministries they attended and the Christian friends they knew. This ignited a passion in them for ministry to college students which led them to work with CRU for three years - one year at Ole Miss and then two years abroad in Salerno, Italy. From there, Bentley went on to work for three years as a pastoral intern at Palm Vista Community Church in Miami, FL before returning back to Jackson in 2014 to attend Reformed Theological Seminary, from which he graduated in 2017 with his Masters of Divinity Degree. Through these experiences, the Lord has built in Bentley a passion for the gospel of Jesus Christ, a desire to minister God's powerful word, a love for people, and a heart for the local Church. As a result, he couldn't be happier to be serving with RUF and he sincerely believes that RUF at Belhaven is an incredibly important work.
Hannah Humphreys
Hannah grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. After graduating high school, she attended Baylor University and graduated with a degree in Child and Family Studies. As a freshman at Baylor, Hannah immediately found a home with RUF. The RUF community was such a comfort to her when everything about college was brand new. It was truly the best part of her college experience. RUF was the backdrop for her richest friendships, growth in the knowledge of her deep need for Christ, and ultimate hope in God's unchanging love. Hannah is excited for her first year as the intern at Belhaven! She hopes to help students rest in the Gospel and build community on Belhaven's campus.
Tyler Thiessen
Tyler is from beautiful and scenic Inman, Kansas and attended Sterling College where he received a degree in Sports Management. While working at a summer camp in Wisconsin, he met his wife, Abi, who attended Mississippi State University and was heavily involved with RUF at MSU. He is excited to be a part of RUF at Belhaven University and become a true southerner and attempt to survive an entire summer in the Mississippi humidity. Tyler loves all things sports and athletics as well as reading, trying new hobbies, and eating dessert.
