Staff

The staff of RUF at Mercer University is made up of a campus pastor and an intern who have been trained in campus ministry.

RUF is a ministry of the church because our campus pastor is an ordained teaching elder in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).  Our campus pastor and intern serve as missionaries to Mercer, seeking to reach and equip students for Christ, develop a fellowship group on campus, help students get involved in local churches, and to develop mature Christian men and women through God's Word.

The desire of our staff is to pastor Mercer students. We are your servants on the campus.

Rev. Chris "Buck" Rogers - Campus Pastor

Rev. Chris "Buck" Rogers is entering into his 5th year as the Mercer RUF campus pastor.  He attended Mercer University from 1993-1997 where he felt a call to the ministry through his involvement with Reformed University Fellowship.  He has served as a youth minister, teacher and pastor in Macon, GA for over 12 years. He graduated from Reformed Theological Seminary in 2002 with a Masters of Divinity.  Buck is married to his hot college sweetheart, Rachel Brown.  They currently have a 6-year old boy named Eli, a 3-year old girl named Rosie, and a baby girl named Sarabelle.

Phillip Maxwell - Intern

Phillip Maxwell graduated in May 2010 from Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas with a degree in History.  He hails from nearby Atlanta and grew up in the church, but did not begin to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ until early in college. The teaching he received and fellowship he took part in with RUF at SMU played a major role in his spiritual development and he is eager to serve the students at Mercer in the same way in which he was served. Phillip enjoys listening to and playing music, eating barbeque, fishing and reading.
