Reformed University Fellowship at Alabama
One of the ways we give ourselves to God's work in the world is by partnering with ministries that are making disciples beyond the walls of Trinity. This month, we're highlighting Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) at The University of Alabama and inviting you to pray for—and participate in—the work God is doing on campus.
Each fall, thousands of students arrive in Tuscaloosa looking for community, purpose, and belonging. RUF exists to reach students with the hope of the gospel, equip them to follow Christ, and send them into the world to serve him. Through weekly Large Group worship, Bible studies, discipleship, and one-on-one relationships, RUF is helping students build a faith that will shape the rest of their lives.

Josh Kull — Intern
Cole Jones — RUF Fellow
How You Can Partner with RUF
One of the greatest gifts you can offer a college student is simply to know them. If you meet students at Trinity, introduce yourself. Invite them to lunch. Learn their story. Small acts of hospitality can make a lasting impact during a season of tremendous transition.
If you know an incoming or returning University of Alabama student, we'd love to help connect them with RUF as they begin the semester.
You're also invited to attend RUF's First Large Group on Wednesday, August 19, at 7:30 PM in Bryant-Denny Stadium. Doors open at 7:00 PM (enter through Gate 2 and follow the signs). Join students, staff, and members of our church family for an evening of worship, teaching from God's Word, fellowship, and free ice cream afterward.
Prayer Requests
Please join us in praying:
That God would provide wisdom, encouragement, and strength for the RUF staff as they minister to students throughout the semester.
That God would stir students' hearts through weekly Large Group gatherings, Bible studies, and Fall Conference, drawing many to know and follow Christ.
That God would continue to raise up local partners who believe in the mission of reaching and discipling college students at Alabama.
