New Mexico State University

For 25 years, RUF has been reaching students for Christ and equipping them to serve in NMSU, Las Cruces, the Southwest, and beyond. We welcome the diversity of perspectives and people that the university brings, and are excited to explore how the Christian gospel informs every facet of life, from agriculture, to engineering, to humanities, and beyond.

While college is a such an exciting period of life, it is also one of the hardest. We hope that RUF can be a place where “It’s ok to not be ok,” and where you have friends and mentors to encourage, comfort, and guide you in life’s ups and downs. RUF is a place of rest amidst the pressure of college life, to grow in relationship with God and friends, and share together in honest community.

Wherever you find yourself ("convinced" or “unconvinced," burned or bored, cynical or spiritual, passionate or stagnant), we hope you can bring your whole self to RUF, and explore with us who Jesus Christ is, and how to follow him.
