RUF at Ole Miss
Regardless of your beliefs or doubts, RUF is a place for you to explore Christianity and grow in your understanding of who Jesus is and what it means to follow him in community with others at Ole Miss. We are here for the “convinced” and the “unconvinced,” the lost, the found, the burned, bored, cynical, spiritual. We invite you, no matter where you are in the process, to RUF. We meet on Wednesdays at 7:30pm in Paris-Yates Chapel.
