La Crosse Area Cru crosses campuses, cultures, state lines and oceans to make disciples who make disciples.
La Crosse Area Cru is an inter-denominational Christian group made up of 300+ students from the colleges & universities in the La Crosse Area.
Our regular large group weekly meeting called “Cru” is on Thursdays at 8:00pm in Graff 260 on the UWL campus.
We also have Bible studies/Discussion Groups that meet regularly to help you grow in your relationship with God and others. Check out our Bible Studies Page with times, locations, and contacts for each study.
We currently have an active presence at 3 schools: University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Western Technical College, and Viterbo University.
We consider our local scope of ministry to be a 75 mile radius around La Crosse that includes over 40,000 students and faculty on 20 campuses.
