What is Cru?
How will my student benefit from Cru in High School?
Community
The high school culture is all about inclusion. Cru invites all students to their events, and offers those who want to get further involved the opportunity to deepen their faith, express their faith, and grow in leadership.
Caring adults
It’s been said that young people need five significant others in their lives on their way to being mature healthy adults.. That’s why we seek, at the first opportunity, to meet you, the parents or guardians of students involved. Together, we build a caring community around our young people.
Getaways
Several times a year, Cru offers experiences for students that go beyond the high school campus. We offer camp/retreat experiences twice a year, where students have a ton of fun, and also learn how to become a leader on their campus. We also offer global excursions for students ready to make their faith known to others in different countries.
Who is Laura Trautner?
I spent my teen years growing up in Kingwood, Texas. We were church attenders, but I didn’t understand how much God loved me or that He desired a relationship with me. That led to some pretty poor decisions as a teenager. I am thankful that God made Himself known to me as a sophomore at Texas A&M University which resulted in a deep desire to make Him known to others. I served with the High School ministry of Cru for 12 years as a single woman. When God called me to my husband in 1999, we moved to Spain and served Him there for 5 years. In 2006, we returned to Kingwood and began teaching high school. My husband continues as a Spanish teacher and boys’ soccer coach at Kingwood Park High School. In 2013, I again desired to teach students spiritually more than academically, and joined the staff of the High School ministry of Cru again. I help lead the Kingwood Park HS ministry, and coach others to lead ministries at Humble HS, Klein Forest HS, and several other schools. We have two daughters, 11 and 21, who benefitted from Cru.

It’s always encouraging to know that there are others reinforcing the values that we have sought to instill. Our Cru ministries and events are designed to do just that.
Teenagers have plenty of questions about God, how to own their faith, and just about life in general. We are here to listen and walk with the students of our community, and help them to process life through the lens of Scripture. Our aim in doing so is that they are led to Jesus, and that they can help others find hope in Him as well.
So please, roam around the site and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
