The mission of Cru is to turn lost students into Christ-centered laborers. College is a pivotal time in students’ lives as they step into adulthood and make decisions that will impact the rest of their lives. Our Cru ministry focuses on Winning students to Christ, Building them up in their faith, and Sending them out to make a Kingdom impact.
“My freshman year I saw an ad for Cru on the TV in the student union and got plugged in. The impact He’s had on me is life changing. God saw my needs and brokenness and answered my prayers by setting me free from sin, giving me friends in Christ, and a place to call home which is Cru.” Chris, junior at UofI
“When I was growing up, He was the God of my parents and the God of my church but now after this year of Bible Study and discipleship I can say for the first time that He is my God and I know He has a purpose for my life.” Yalixa, sophomore at UofI
“I’m so grateful for your discipleship and Bible Study leadership because it makes me feel so equipped to share my faith and make decisions based on biblical wisdom.” Christian, recent graduate
As we serve God and see Him work in the lives of these students and many more we are incredibly grateful for our amazing team of ministry partners who make it possible for us to be here. We can't do this work alone. We ask others to partner with us as we Win, Build and Send college students for Christ. We need partners like you to pray and give financially to this vital work.
We are trusting God to find 30 new partners. We would love to invite you to join with us and be a part of what God is doing through Cru at the UofI!
