RUF is a new ministry at Mines that seeks to meet students with the love of Jesus right where they are.
We desire to be a community where the convinced and unconvinced alike can explore Christianity, discover who Jesus is, learn to follow Him together, and delight in His grace.
All are welcome! Come join us!

Peter Scheidt
Hailing originally from the South, Peter discovered RUF as a student at Georgia Tech where he became enraptured with the grace of Christ. After earning a BS in Aerospace Engineering he worked for an aircraft design and manufacturing company for several years before realizing Christ was so beautiful he had to tell people about Him. Peter attended seminary at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte, NC, where he spent his time studying, working as a whitewater raft guide and instructor, and most importantly falling in love with a redhead named Bekah who (astonishingly!) agreed to marry him. They pastored multiple churches in the Charlotte region and lived several years in New Hampshire before moving to Denver in 2023. Peter and Bekah are thrilled that God has called them to start a new chapter of RUF at the Colorado School of Mines and can't wait to be with students, hear their stories, and show them the lavish, magnificent love of Jesus! In their spare time you can find them, along with their son Caleb, cooking delicious food, playing with their cats Gimli and Gandalf, and doing just about anything to explore the outdoors.
