What is Cru?

Cru exists to journey together with every person toward a meaningful relationship with God and others.

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 Josh Jimenez?

After graduating from the University of Southern California (USC) in 2012, I ended up interning with Cru oversees in East Asia for two years. It was during my last year in East Asia, where God called me to full-time ministry so I decided to join Cru as a full-time staff member. While going through the process of joining staff, I learned about the huge need Cru had for high school staff members. I decided to take a step of faith and join full-time ministry with Cru in San Diego. I will be working with high schools in the North County San Diego area.

Thanks for checking us out!

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.
