Growth happens in the context of community
We believe that some of the greatest spiritual growth during your college years will happen in the context of community.
As you get around other people who are seeking God and studying the Bible, it will motivate you to learn and grow alongside them. We offer some great ways for you to get connected with others in the Cru movement who want to deepen their relationships.

common questions
Are you a college student or young adult living in or attending school in the Madison, WI area? We are a movement comprised of students from multiple schools who are looking to grow in their faith and/or ask questions about Christianity. If you would like to check one out, click on the Connect button and we will see what study is closest to you!
Nope! Cru is a safe place for people to explore the claims of Jesus and ask questions. We are also a space for people to continue to grow in their Christian faith and support each other as we all grow.
Nope! We will either have extras to share (or take home!) or a print out of the verses we are discussing. Also, there are many free Bible apps that are great for on-the-go!
Absolutely! We want to be an open space for people to join us whenever they can.
Yes! As a leader with Cru, you will be trained and equipped to lead a Bible study discussion and learn to ask good questions. To learn more about becoming a leader, connect with a staff member!
What to expect
The best place to get connected is in a Bible study. In contrast to the large group meetings, a Bible study is a chance to get to know people better and learn about God with a small group of students.
- Gather with other college students like you
- Laid back discussion about the Bible and faith
- Space to ask questions
- Time for prayer
- Get to know others and share about your life
