About Cru

In 1951, Bill Bright started Cru (originally as Campus Crusade for Christ) with this vision in mind: Reach the campus today and reach the world tomorrow.

The 100 million college students in the world today represent the leaders of tomorrow. The people they follow and the ideologies they embrace will radically effect the trajectory of their lives as well as the world we live in.

We want to meet students at this critical time in life to join them on their spiritual journey. We desire to give all an opportunity to encounter and respond to the truth of gospel.
