About UCLA Reformed University Fellowship
Reformed University Fellowship at UCLA serves as a vibrant student organization rooted in Los Angeles, CA, dedicated to introducing college students to the transformative hope of Jesus Christ. As part of a national campus ministry movement founded in 1973, RUF brings decades of experience in discipling young leaders during their most formative years. The UCLA chapter welcomes all students—regardless of their current beliefs or doubts—to explore authentic Christian faith through genuine relationships and serious engagement with Scripture.
The heart of RUF's mission centers on creating spaces where students can experience genuine community while studying God's Word together. The organization believes that college represents a critical season when students are making life-defining decisions and exploring their deepest beliefs. Through intentional gatherings and small group connections, RUF provides pastoral care and mentorship that helps students discover their significance within God's redemptive story. The ministry values gospel-centered teaching, connection to local churches, and the development of next-generation leaders who will sustain and strengthen the church for decades to come.
What distinguishes RUF at UCLA is its commitment to lived graciousness, celebration, and authentic discipleship. The organization operates with the conviction that God is actively renewing all things and invites students into that redemptive work. Staff members like Campus Minister Matthew Trexler and Campus Staff members bring personal investment and pastoral presence to student life. The ministry extends beyond campus gatherings to include connection with the broader RUF family, which operates on college campuses across the United States and internationally. For UCLA students in Los Angeles seeking a faith community that takes Scripture seriously, values genuine relationships, and prepares them for faithful living beyond graduation, Reformed University Fellowship offers a welcoming home grounded in biblical truth and pastoral care.
