» News: PCA General Assembly Continues
Part of the work of a General Assembly is the hearing of reports by the various ministries that are undertaken by the church. Yesterday, the reports of Reformed University Fellowship (WMA Link) and Covenant College (WMA Link) were received. Reformed University Fellowship is a campus ministry of the PCA that places an ordained pastor on a college campus to organize fellowship and discipling activities among college students. RUF attempts to integrate college students into the local church, and part of the presentation consisted of testimonies from students who benefitted from the ministry. This morning, the denominational seminary, Covenant Theological Seminary, presented a report (we will add link when the archive becomes available). Reports from the other broad ministries of the church both in the USA and abroad will be presented later today (Mission to North America and Mission to the World).

Can you give us an idea of how many delegates are at the assembly, and what percentage of PCA congregations are represented? Thanks.
Around 1400 delegates, we believe, but we do not have exact information at this point. Hopefully the more official report will have this information and we'll be sure to pass it along. As for the percentage of PCA congregations, there are approximately 1650 of them total, and some of the larger churches sent as many as a dozen or more delegates by themselves. Perhaps we will get some more exact statistics shortly with the last GA summary emailing from pcanews.com.
RUF is - by far - the most effective ministry in the PCA.
The influence of RUF is seen in the number of college grads going to PCA churches (whether they were from PCA backgrounds pre-college or not) and/or on to ministry.
