University of Florida

Join us for Large Group on Tuesday nights at 8pm at the Chapel of the Incarnation (across the street from campus).

RUF is a Christian campus ministry at UF. We welcome students from every background - both those who are already Christians and those who are examining the claims of Jesus Christ for the first time. We are here to be a place where you can search for answers, grow in your faith, serve, and find community. Come as you are!

Meet Our Team

Steve Lammers

Steve Lammers

Campus Minister

Ever since becoming a Christian at Clemson University, Steve has had a passion for ministry to college students.  After attending Covenant Seminary in Saint Louis, he served as the Campus Minister with RUF at UF from 2003 to 2014.  Then, after pastoring in two different churches, he returned in 2022 to do what he's always loved: "reaching students for Christ, and equipping students to serve."  Steve has been married to Jenna since 1995, has two teenage daughters, and is a bandwagon college football fan alternating between Clemson, Florida, and Central Florida.  He loves doing 10-minute gym workouts, playing chess, watching Marvel movies, and acting as if he's still an athlete (since ping pong, kanjam, and spikeball are such prestigious sports).

Intern

Emily grew up in Columbia, SC and studied math and Spanish at the University of South Carolina. RUF was her campus ministry home during undergrad and she’s really excited to get to know the students at the University of Florida and the stories God is writing with their lives. In her free time, Emily likes to read, bake new gluten-free goodies, and work out.
