”Why RUF Is Here and What We’re About” (Acts 2:36-47)

Deep, formative, inclusive community isn't just something of our dreams.  God is building a group of people right here in the midst of our lonely world who meet people where they are with his grace but never leave them stuck there.   This community has a name: God calls it his "church".
RUF is not *A* church, but we ARE an arm of *THE* Church reaching out in love toward UGA's campus.  We don't look entirely like the community pictured in Acts 2, but that's where we're resolutely aimed.  Listen in as Ben describes how you can help us move in that direction.

”Senior Share 2022”

Tonight, the word of God and witness to his resurrection power comes from some of our beloved seniors.
