Conferences & Retreats

Cru offers many opportunities to learn, grow, and be challenged as you live out your faith. These opportunities range from weekend retreats to week-long conferences to entire summer mission experiences. They all include life-changing encounters with God. If you join us for one or more of these, you will walk away loving Jesus more and probably having met some of your lifelong best friends.

Fall Retreat

Sometimes what we really need is a change of scenery. Fall Retreat is great way to get away from the stress of campus and focus on who Jesus is. We will dive into God’s Word, worship through song, stay up too late playing games, and get our hearts racing on the high ropes course. This weekend always leaves us with deeper relationships with God and each other. Don’t miss it!

Cru Winter Conference

Cru Winter Conference (formerly IndyCC) is one of the greatest conferences Cru puts on! Held right in our backyard in downtown Indy, the Winter Conference is a great chance to reconnect with friends while you’re on Christmas break, hear from speakers who will challenge your faith, worship with 2,000 other college students, practically help families in need in Indianapolis, and ring in the New Year with prayer, worship, and of course, a massive dance party! Get a taste of what happens at this conference by checking out the website.

Spring Break Trips

Germany

We are passionate about launching movements of students who follow Jesus on campuses all over the world. Indy Metro Cru, along with a few other U.S. Cru movements, is partnered with the Cru ministry in Germany to see movements launched on the campuses there. There are hundreds of thousands of college students across Germany, and most of them do not have a relationship with Jesus. We want to trust God to change that, and we are grateful that He is willing to use us in the process. We’ve sent students to places like Berlin, Munich, and all over Bavaria for a week on a spring break trip, for 5 weeks on a Summer Mission (see below), and even a year of full-time campus ministry! You will be changed by learning a new world and helping to launch movements in these great cities.

Breakaway

Breakaway Spring 2019 is an opportunity to show the love of Christ to the city of Indianapolis through service by caring for the community. Join us in this opportunity to make Christ known through spiritual conversations with the people of Indianapolis while loving and caring for them. We will gather for 3 days during break to get trained in evangelism and go into the city to share the good news of Christ. The cost for all 3 days is only $10! Register here.

Summer Missions

Imagine a summer that could change cities, countries and continents around the globe while also forever transforming your life–a summer that propels you into a deeper walk with God and gives you greater confidence in making Him known, a summer that develops your leadership skills and begins friendships you’ll take with you throughout your life.

For over 40 years, hundreds of thousands of students have taken advantage of summer mission projects – a life-changing, world-rocking ministry opportunity through Cru.
