Student Leadership
RUF at BU is a student-led organization affiliated with the Student Activities Office (SAO) and Marsh Chapel at Boston University.
RUF’s student leaders meet regularly as a Ministry Team to pray, plan, and learn about ministry. The training and experience they receive will be highly valuable in whatever vocation they choose, but especially in service to the church.

DIRECTOR OF OUTREACH AND DISCIPLESHIP - SERENA BERGFORS
Serena grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania, graduated from Millersville University in 2018, and has been living in Boston and loving it ever since. Her involvement in RUF during college grew her relationship with Jesus, her understanding of Scripture, friendships, and love for ministry, all leading her to follow God’s call to RUF ministry in Boston! Serena and her husband Ryan live just west of the city. Looking for conversation topics? She will never tire of discussing… board games, questions about faith and the Bible, good books, music, and your love life. (Jk! But actually….) Serena enjoys exploring new coffeeshops, will always order the Pavement rosemary salt bagel, and can't wait to get to know you better! Don’t hesitate to reach out :)

MINISTRY FELLOW - MITCHELL CLOUTIER
Mitchell Cloutier grew up outside of Knoxville, TN. His love for RUF and ministry began while he was in college at the University of Memphis, and after graduating with a degree in music, he decided to give back to RUF and serve students in the way that he was served. In the near future, he hopes to go to seminary and someday become a pastor. In his spare time, Mitchell enjoys books, hiking, and good food.
CAMPUS MINISTER - NATHAN DICKS
Rev. Nathan Dicks founded RUF at BU in 2014 after graduating with his MDiv from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Hamilton, MA. Nathan studied architecture at Clemson University, planning to follow in his dad's footsteps as an architect until the financial collapse of 2008 sent him in a different direction. Realizing his love for studying and teaching the Bible to college students, he ministered at the University of Sarajevo, Bosnia for two years then moved to Boston to begin seminary. Nathan is married to Sarah and has two sons Ward and Henry. Nathan loves meeting new people, running, golf, anything outdoors, travel, and good music.
