Preview Weekend
Operations in Cru
With tens of thousands of missionaries seeking to win people to Christ, build them up in their faith, and send them to do the same (all in the power of the Holy Spirit), Cru is uniquely positioned to develop entry-level personnel professionally and spiritually as they work on projects designed to send the gospel to the nations.
Preview Weekend is designed for college upperclassmen and recent graduates interested in using their professional skills in ministry.
Investigate some of our ministries, locations, and opportunities on this website.
What does it look like?
Watch this video below to spend a day in the life of Cru Finance staff, Valerie Berlin, for an example of what operations looks like in ministry!
Cru's Office Internship
Preview Weekend 2024

We look forward to seeing where God may be calling you to use your skills and talents! Please note, acceptance to Preview Weekend is not an acceptance to Intern with Cru.
