There are two things weíre all about: Jesus and community.
Let's start with community. Being alone sucks. Everyone on the planet knows what itís like to be alone, and no one likes it. Sometimes even worse than being truly alone though, is being around a whole lot of people and still being alone. Ever been to a party where everyone was talking about the weather, the latest movies, or what they do on the weekends, but no one really cared about the people they were talking to? That's why at Cru we call ourselves a real community. We donít want to fake it. We want to get into each otherís lives ó to really know, challenge, and help each other as friends. And we want to have a ton of fun doing it!
While probably no one in Cru knows everyone else in Cru, there are so many interconnected groups of close-knit friends that thereís a place for everyone to get involved. But we donít stop there. Weíre not content to just all be a community together. We want our community to grow, which is where our love for Jesus and our natural desire for community come together.
We love Jesus. Plain and simple. We think heís the most awesome person to ever walk the face of the earth. And we think that our relationship with him is more fulfilling than anything else on earth. In fact, we love and enjoy him so much that we want everyone else to have the opportunity to know him too. Thatís the main reason that weíre around. In fact, thatís even what our mission statement says. Cru is a community where the gospel captures hearts, transforms lives, and launches men and women into a lifelong adventure with Jesus Christ. Yup, that pretty much says it all.
