Get Involved
At Cru, there are a number of ways to get involved. From large group weekly meetings, to smaller Connection Groups, women’s events, men’s events, community service and regular social events. There is something for everyone! Whether you are a Christian student or not, we want you to feel welcome.
Meet Your New Leaders
Meet your 2024-2025 student leaders! These are the students that will be leading the ministries that are essential to the Cru movement, and will be planning many of the events we’ll have throughout the year. If you’re looking to get involved, a great place to start would be talking to one of these students.
Meet The Shep Team
Shep Team (short for Shepherd team) is Cru’s E-Board, responsible for helping to run the administrative side of things, as well as shepherding the other ministries. You’ll hear more from these students in the fall!
