John Meinen, CAMPUS MINISTER
Hi there! My name is John, and I am the campus pastor for RUF at UVM. I grew up in northern Virginia, attended college at the University of Colorado-Boulder (2000-2004), and graduated from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (2012). In 2012, my wife Megan and I moved to Burlington to start RUF at UVM. We are proud parents to Willa, JB, and a black lab named Fella. We love sharing meals with friends and playing outside (hiking, skiing, fly-fishing, etc.). We would love to get to know you. Contact me at john.meinen@ruf.org and/or 802.922.4202.
Jessie Benton, INTERN
Hi! My name is Jessie. I recently graduated from Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC. I loved being a college student and hope to go to graduate school for social work (or something similar) after the RUF internship. As far as my hobbies go, any outdoor activity such as hiking, paddle-boarding, camping, etc. puts a smile on my face (bonus points if said activities are shared in the company of good friends and include great coffee). I also love to travel, bake, and play spikeball. Contact me at jessie.benton@ruf.org and/or 980.425.0631.
