Tim Price

Tim Price

Campus Minister

Tim Price grew up in Austin, TX. He became a Christian after high school and immediately felt a call on his life to pursue ministry. For undergrad, he attended Belmont University in Nashville, TN and graduated with a BA in Religion and the Arts. Tim discovered RUF while he was a student at Belmont and found it to be one of the few places where he could grow in his knowledge of Christ’s love for him and still have doubts/questions. He also met his wife, Rachel, at Belmont and they married in December 2014. Tim decided to pursue ministry by becoming an RUF intern. He worked in NYC as the RUF intern for three years. This experience further confirmed his call to ministry and particularly to college students. He and Rachel moved to St. Louis in the summer of 2017 so that he could attend Covenant Seminary and work towards his Masters of Divinity. He graduated in May of 2020 and was called to be the Campus Minister as WashU that fall. Tim and Rachel have one son, Jack, and an Australian Shepherd named Lenny. Tim loves watching premier league soccer, playing board games, playing (most) sports, and playing music.

Noah Rinehart

Noah Rinehart

Campus Assistant

Noah is originally from Memphis, Tennessee, where he graduated from Rhodes College in 2018. RUF had a huge impact on his life and faith, and when he finished at Rhodes, he started the RUF internship at WashU. During his three years of the internship, he began to sense a call to vocational ministry, and he started at Covenant Seminary as a full-time student in 2021. During his time at Covenant, he has stayed on the staff as a Campus Assistant, and in the last few years, he has begun to minister primarily to students at Saint Louis University (Go Billikens!) just down the street from WashU. While he'll always be a Memphian, Noah has come to love all things St. Louis (especially Kaldi's Coffee, gooey butter cake, and STL City soccer). When he's not studying for his own classes or hanging out on campus at SLU, you can probably find him somewhere in Forest Park, or enjoying an evening in with his friends.

Marie Fennema

Marie Fennema

Campus Staff

Marie is originally from Tyler, TX and then moved to a small town in KY in high school. She graduated from Covenant College outside of Chattanooga, TN in 2020 with a degree in English and a minor in music. During college, Marie experienced the gospel of Jesus in personal and profound ways through the ministry of RUF. After graduating and working for few years at her alma mater, Marie continued sensing a call to vocational ministry. She and her husband, Michael, moved to Saint Louis in 2023 to begin full-time as MDiv students at Covenant Seminary. Marie is thrilled to be serving with RUF and walking alongside college students primarily at Saint Louis University. In her free time, Marie loves trying out a new recipe, playing pickleball or Catan, reading a good book at a coffee shop, or spending time around the table with friends.

Ticia King

Ticia King

Intern

Ticia is from Winder, Georgia and attended Emory University in Atlanta, where she graduated with a BS in Environmental Science. RUF was a constant source of love, encouragement, and friendship during her time in college, so Ticia is excited to continue being a part of this ministry at WashU! Some of Ticia's favorite activities include spending time outdoors, reading, watching dramatic tv shows, and eating Chick-fil-A!

Anthony Short

Anthony Short

Intern

Anthony grew up in the small town of Paw Paw, Michigan. He graduated from the University of Michigan in 2023 with a major in Film, Television, and Media and a minor in Philosophy. While at Michigan, Anthony was led to the ministry of RUF and fell in love with their mission on campus. RUF deepened his love for Christ, campus, and fellow students, and he is thrilled to continue in RUF as an intern at WashU in St. Louis. Anthony enjoys reading, running, walking, music, movies of all kinds, billiards (especially 8 ball and snooker), and talking about literally anything.
