Cru was originally founded as Campus Crusade for Christ® in 1951, when Bill and Vonette Bright began the ministry on the UCLA campus. God gave Bill a vision of the total fulfillment of the Great Commission throughout the world. Cru is only a part of God’s workforce to accomplish that vision, but they are passionate about playing our part and helping others play theirs. From the beginning, Cru has sought to be a caring community on mission together.

Cru is a caring community passionate about connecting people to Jesus Christ.

Their purpose is to help fulfill the Great Commission in the power of the Holy Spirit by winning people to faith in Jesus Christ, building them in their faith, and sending them to win and build others.

They help the body of Christ do evangelism and discipleship in a variety of creative ways.

Cru® offers spiritual guidance, resources and programs tailored to people from all cultures in every walk of life.

Cru is committed to helping proclaim the gospel throughout the world. Their mission of winning, building and sending often occurs best in the context of relationships. Even when the initial proclamation comes from outside a community, typically the gospel continues to spread among family members, friends, neighbors and peers. When the woman at the well heard from Jesus, she ran to tell others, “Come and see” (John 4:29, NLT).

There are thousands of opportunities through Cru to be involved in the Great Commission. From summer mission trips for students, to a week of helping pack supplies for needy families overseas, Cru is continually looking for new ways to engage people with the gospel.
