What is RUF?
RUF is a campus ministry at Millersville University. Our goal is to be a group where people are welcome to find out what the Bible says about who Jesus is. People do some of their best learning in the context of relationships and through conversation. It doesn't matter if you are a Christian who has been going to church all your life or a skeptic who just isn't sure what to believe. We invite and welcome you to come ask questions and make new friends.

Chris Peter
Campus Minister
Chris grew up in Northern Virginia, just outside of Washington DC, in a wonderful family and church where he heard and believed the Gospel from an early age. While in college at Virginia Tech, he got connected to the ministry of RUF, where he found amazing community and grew greatly in his faith in Christ. After graduating in 2015, he served for 2 years as an intern with RUF at NC State. He then went on to get his Masters of Divinity at Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, from 2017-21, working with RUF at Winthrop University during his time there. While in seminary, he met Kelsey (originally from Hickory, NC, and a graduate of Western Carolina University) at an RUF training, and after she finished her RUF internship at the University of Vermont, they got married in 2019. They have since welcomed two wonderful daughters into the world, Elliana and Emmaline!
Chris is incredibly thankful to have the job of pouring the truth of the Gospel into college students' lives. He would love to grab a cup of coffee with you (or his real preference: tea), and chat about Jesus, theology, sports, board games, sci-fi/fantasy stories, food, or really just about anything.
Chris and Kelsey love college students and are so excited to welcome the students of Millersville into their lives and home!Get Involved

Conferences
Deepening Relationships
Once a semester RUF Millersville joins other colleges from the region or nation for a conference. These are incredibly impactful opportunities to deepen our relationships with one another and God. In the fall we go to the mountains for a weekend retreat. And at the end of the spring semester, we go to the beach for a week.
