Activities on campus
Campus Crusade for Christ helps students to know God personally through Jesus and to grow in their faith. Campus Crusade serves as a valuable resource to campuses through educational, social and spiritual programs that range from large, campus-wide events and conferences to small, intimate Bible studies and accountability groups.
Outreach to the whole campus and the whole person
Adding to its local multi-cultural movements (chapters), Campus Crusade has developed movements to work within students’ ethnic, linguistic, social and professional identities including: Impact (African American), Destino (Hispanic), Epic (Asian American), Nations (Native American), Greek Life (fraternity/sorority), Athletes in Action (athletes/coaches), Valor (ROTC), Bridges (international students) and Faculty Commons (professors).
Locally, nationally and globally, Campus Crusade helps students meet spiritual and physical needs of those suffering from social injustices (like human trafficking) or natural disasters (SE Asian Tsunami in 2004-05, Hurricane Katrina [17,000 students joined CCC-sponsored relief projects in the Gulf in 2005-07] and with Haitian earthquake relief in 2010).
