About Cru at Rice

Cru is a world-wide movement of students connecting people to Jesus Christ.

Cru at Rice began in the late 1950s. For more than 70 years, we’ve been focusing on each student hearing and seeing the life-changing message of Jesus. Whether you are just curious about Jesus or are desiring a community of believers that will encourage you in your faith and as a leader, we encourage you to check out Cru. We hope Cru can be a welcoming community for you to pursue friends, truth, and meaning. We will help equip you to make a significant impact in your areas of influence on campus and around the world, and to be sent out to make a lasting contribution for Christ in the years after college.

Grow
