RUF at the University of Texas

Join us Wednesday’s 7:00 pm at Texas Federation of Women’s Club 2312 San Gabriel St.

As a Christian ministry at UT, we strive to reach students with the good news of Jesus and to equip our students to serve others. RUF stands for Reformed University Fellowship and is the campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America.

Jesus said that he did not come to save the righteous, but sinners. At RUF, we do not wish to pretend to have it all together. We are people in need of grace. Consequently, all are welcome to be part of our group, regardless of personal or religious background. RUF exists for the "convinced" and the "unconvinced," the lost, the found, the burned, bored, cynical, or spiritual. If this sounds interesting to you, please contact us. We would love to get to know you!

Ryan Dougan

Ryan Dougan

Campus Minister

Ryan, Micaela, and their four daughters (Evie, Kendall, Sutton, and Stevie Lynn) have spent the last 10 years in Houston working in student and young adults ministry through Christ the King Presbyterian Church. After spending years sending students to Texas RUF and later receiving graduates from Texas RUF, they are thrilled to finally be a part of this ministry in Austin! As is true for most girl dads, Ryan enjoys dance parties, talent shows, and watching all the Disney princess movies with his kids. Not to worry though, he also enjoys woodworking, sports, and of course, cheering on the Longhorns… Hook em!

Intern

Eleanor grew up in Memphis, TN, and graduated from the University of Virginia, where she majored in Biology and minored in Religious Studies. RUF had a huge impact on her during her time at UVA by providing her with rich community where she learned about and experienced God’s love and faithfulness. Eleanor loves anything outdoors, going on walks with friends, baking, and playing pickleball! She is very excited to get to know the students and RUF community at UT and see how the Lord is at work over the next few years!
