Whether you're a new student at Purdue or have been a Boilermaker for a while, we welcome you to check out RUF. Regardless of your beliefs or doubts, RUF is a safe place for you to explore Christianity and grow in your understanding of who Jesus is and what it means to follow him in community with others at Purdue. We seek to be an outward-facing community centered on Jesus & His Gospel. We are on the campus, for the campus. Take a look around to find out more about who we are and how you can get involved with our ministry. Feel free to contact our staff with any questions!

Niko Fannin
Niko is originally from Toledo, Ohio, but grew up in Chelsea, Michigan. In high school, he did swimming and water polo, and also grew a strong desire to share the gospel. After graduating, he moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he attended the University of Michigan to study actuarial mathematics. He joined a Christian fraternity called BYX where he met several friends that were involved with RUF. Upon being introduced to RUF’s deep theology, ministry vision and culture of care, he was sold out for RUF. By his senior year, he had developed a longing for ministering to people relationally and committed to becoming an Intern with RUF. In the fall he will be heading to Purdue University. Niko is stoked to begin investing in relationships with students at Purdue and contributing to its outward facing culture of Christian community and fun. Niko loves movies, superheroes, riding his bike, and late-night Taco Bell runs with friends.
