Cru is…
an inter-denominational Christian ministry that holds to historic Christian beliefs including the authority and inspiration of the Bible, the Deity of Christ, the Trinity, and salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone.
A detailed doctrinal statement can be found here.
While we do ask that students who lead with Cru affirm these core beliefs, we also invite involvement from students who do not share our particular theological perspective.
You are welcome in Cru regardless of your background or beliefs.
