What? Cru is a Christian organization that is all about helping University of Illinois students discover and develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We have weekly meetings, Bible studies, retreats, and parties all designed to help you grow closer to God and build relationships with each other.

Who?

Cru is made up of students who want to know God and be transformed by that relationship. We haven't arrived, but we are on a journey.

It doesn't matter what part of campus you are from, or what part of the world you are from. Whether you've been hearing about Jesus all your life, or you know nothing about Him, we would love for you to enter into the journey with us.

Where? Our weekly meetings are on Monday nights at 8:00. There are around 300 people and will be held in Greg 112 or at TCBC see the events page for the full schedule.

Small group Bible studies are held throughout campus, so be sure to find one that is convenient for you!

We also have many other opportunities to connect through parties, retreats, and other good times!

Student Team Leaders:
