Everyone is on a spiritual journey either towards God or away from Him. And wherever you are on that journey, you are welcomed and accepted. Cru is a safe place where you can ask questions, share doubts and investigate the God of the Bible. We do not pretend to have all the answers, but we do believe that God created us to know Him personally and life was meant to be lived in relationship with Him.

Cru is also a place for those who have discovered this life-changing relationship and want to grow in spiritual maturity and make a difference for Christ on campus. We are a community of students passionate about connecting others to Jesus Christ.

Nobody wants to journey alone. Cru has tons of ways for you to connect to other like-minded friends and experience authentic community. We offer weekly meetings, Bible studies, retreats, social events, summer mission opportunities and so many other fun things.​

What We Believe

​Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ) is an inter-denominational Christian ministry that holds to historic Christian beliefs including the authority and inspiration of the Bible, the Deity of Christ, the Trinity, and salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone.  A more detailed doctrinal statement can be found here. While we do ask that students who lead with Cru affirm these core beliefs, we also invite involvement from students who do not share our particular theological perspective.  YOU ARE WELCOME IN CRU REGARDLESS OF BACKGROUND OR BELIEFS.
