Meet Our Team
Tom Hart
Tom Hart was born and raised in Albany, Georgia. While studying at the University of Georgia, he got involved with RUF, where he encountered Jesus for the first time. He also met his wife, Chané, in history class, who is originally from South Africa but grew up in Greenville, South Carolina. After college, Tom served as an RUF intern at Auburn University, then attended Covenant Seminary in St. Louis, then planted a new chapter of RUF at East Carolina University. After serving at ECU for 6 years, the Harts made the transition to Furman, which is in Chane's hometown of Greenville, SC. Tom and Chané spend most of their free time thoroughly enjoying their four children, Simon (born in 2012), Ragan (born in 2014), Bauer (born 2016), and Catherine (born 2018)
Bennett Brock
Bennett grew up on Lookout Mountain, Georgia surrounded by lots of siblings and cousins. After graduating from high school in a pandemic, he was nervous about college at the University of Georgia and doubted that he would find the same tight-knit community he had experienced at home. But God gave him that gift of family all over again through RUF! Bennett graduated from UGA in 2024 with degrees in Linguistics and Spanish and a minor in Ecology. He loves hiking, watching movies with friends (especially Harry Potter), folk music, and sunsets. He is so excited to move to Greenville and share the love of Christ with the students at Furman!
