University of Texas at El Paso

Welcome to RUF at The University of Texas at El Paso! Picks Up!

RUF at UTEP is a campus ministry dedicated to being rooted in Scripture, fostering a faithful and genuine community, and enhancing the college experience for every student who joins us, both before and after graduation.

Our mission is to convey that no one is ever too far from God's reach and that we all constantly need His grace. We communicate this truth through every Bible study and event we host.

No matter where you are in your journey—whether convinced or unconvinced, burned out or bored, cynical or spiritual, passionate or stagnant—we invite you to bring your whole self to RUF. Join us as we explore who Jesus Christ is and learn how to follow Him together.
