About Us

We are a caring community passionate about connecting people to Jesus Christ. Our student-led movement wants to help other students KNOW Jesus, GROW in community and Christlikeness, and GO be a blessing to all nations of the world.

Cru strives to build community through smaller groups called LifeGroups that meet each week. They're a great opportunity read and discuss the Bible and who Jesus is, and to develop lifelong friendships.

Once a week, all the groups come together for our Weekly Gathering. The Weekly Gathering is every Thursday @ 7:30pm in Thwing room 201.

We also hold various events throughout the year with our sister organizations, Epic, Design, Destino, and Impact!
