USC Reformed University Fellowship

Reformed University Fellowship at the University of Southern California serves the Los Angeles, CA community through comprehensive campus ministry programs designed to reach college students from all backgrounds. RUF offers multiple engagement pathways including small group Bible studies, conversational series for spiritually curious students, and a 16-week New Testament reading challenge that allows students to engage deeply with Scripture alongside peers. The organization provides mentorship programs that connect students with local church professionals for whole-life discipleship, ensuring students develop a biblical worldview applicable to their careers, families, and communities. RUF's ministry at USC includes regular gatherings at Kilgore Chapel, transportation to local churches including Pacific Crossroads and New Creation Church, and specialized programming for international students. The campus ministry emphasizes authentic community and spiritual growth during students' formative college years. Founded in 1973 and affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America, RUF operates on campuses across the United States and internationally. The organization's gospel-driven approach focuses on equipping the next generation of leaders who will sustain and grow the church after graduation. At USC's Los Angeles location, students discover the life-altering love of God through genuine relationships and rigorous study of God's Word. Whether students are exploring faith for the first time, questioning their high school beliefs, or seeking to deepen existing convictions, RUF provides a welcoming community centered on grace and spiritual transformation.
