In 1972 in a small town in Mississippi a pivotal event occurred. Three churches in Hattiesburg decided they could no longer ignore the spiritual needs of the students at the University of Southern Mississippi, so they combined resources and hired a man to serve as their minister to that campus. Thus was born Reformed University Fellowship.

Fast-forward 26 years. David Green had been ministering at Lehigh University since 1986, but his presence from 1996 to 98 was diminished while completing his Masters of Divinity degree. In 1998, at the encouragement of Lehigh Valley Presbyterian Church, David returned to full-time ministry at Lehigh. In 1999 David was called and ordained to minister with Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) at Lehigh University. Now he and his wife, Ruth (a Lehigh alum.), are reaching out to Lehigh students through Bible studies, counseling, and hospitality.

From a small but strong beginning with five students in 1998, RUF at Lehigh University is presently reaching over 100 students, including some in fraternities, sports, and performing arts groups. By God's grace we are making a major impact on the campus. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the direction of our country, as we influence students who will become leaders in their churches and communities.
