RUF is the official college campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America. Les Newsom served as a campus minister for 17 years. In the summer of 2011, Les took a position as an Area Coordinator for RUF in Alabama, Mississippi, West Tennessee, and Arkansas. Serving 20 campuses as a coordinator, he continues to speak at conferences and churches throughout the region.
Christ Presbyterian Church in Oxford resumed public worship on June 7, 2020 after a 3 month hiatus due to the COVID-19 Quarantine. Upon return, Les preached from Isaiah 49 and the gleanings he had from a sermon preached by Tim Keller in 2010.
