ABOUT
CRU
Welcome to Cru. We are so happy you stopped by! Let's get right to it.
Cru exists to see lives changed by helping people find and follow Jesus. It is an inter-denominational Christian ministry that began in 1951. Today it's a global movement of God impacting over 190 countries. Here at Texas State, our vision is to win (introduce) students and faculty to Jesus Christ, build them up in their faith, and send them out to change the world.
