Upon graduation, we desire to send students from UC Berkeley throughout the world as Christ-centered leaders for a lifetime. Jesus transforms lives and we hope you encounter Him in a real way while you are passing through UC Berkeley during these significant college years.<\/p><p class=\"\">To get connected to Cru \u2013 consider joining a Community Group Bible study, attending our Weekly Meetings on Thursday nights from 7:30-8:45 PM, or coming to our next social event. We also get away from Berkeley for our annual Fall Retreat near Santa Cruz, our Winter Conference, and Spring Break and Summer Missions\u00a0around the world.\u00a0See you around at one of these opportunities sometime soon!\u00a0We hope you will get involved and take significant steps in your spiritual journey while a student at UC Berkeley.<\/p><p class=\"\">Please let us know if we can help you get plugged in or if we can be a spiritual resource while you are here in Berkeley.
