Cru at USC

Cru at USC is a dynamic Christian student organization operating at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA, dedicated to fostering spiritual growth and authentic faith development among the Trojan community. The organization offers a comprehensive range of programs and activities designed to help students explore and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ through various spiritual disciplines and community engagement opportunities.

The ministry provides multiple avenues for student participation, including small group Bible studies that allow for intimate discussion and spiritual reflection, regular prayer times for communal worship and intercession, and larger weekly Midweek gatherings that combine fellowship with praise and worship. For students seeking deeper commitment and transformative experiences, Cru organizes retreats, conferences, and summer mission opportunities that extend spiritual development beyond the campus setting.

Beyond the main organization, Cru at USC operates several specialized student groups tailored to specific communities within the university. Athletes in Action serves the athletic community, proclaiming the gospel to fellow athletes while providing character development and spiritual training. Bridges International welcomes international students, offering worship, Bible study, friendship-building activities, and spiritual conversations regardless of religious background. The Soon Movement serves Korean and Asian-American students with culturally relevant ministry. Greek Life Crossing extends Cru's outreach to fraternity and sorority members across campus.

Under the leadership of Directors Goodwin Deng and Erin Crumley, Cru at USC maintains a clear vision: to love the USC community and engage it with the gospel so that every student knows someone who genuinely follows Jesus. The organization is committed to creating spaces where students can experience authentic Christian community, develop moral reasoning, and grow in their personal responsibility to others.
