Badger Cru
About
Badger Cru exists to help UW students on their journey through the Cru ministry. We love to help students discover how they can have a real, personal relationship with God and we work to help students strengthen that relationship. Our mission is that each person on campus has the chance to know someone who truly loves and follows Jesus.
These are some of the opportunities we provide to get connected:
Large-group Meetings
Our large-group meeting takes place every Thursday night at 8pm on campus. These usually consist of community-building activities, worship, relevant teaching, and opportunities to get more connected.
Small-group Bible Studies
Our small-group Bible studies take place all over campus throughout the week. These provide opportunities to dig deeper into God’s Word, connect with a supportive community, and grow together.
Community Events
We have regular social events to have fun together and grow in community. These often take place after our Thursday night large-group meetings.
Special Events
We have three retreats throughout the school year:
- Fall Getaway (Lake Geneva, WI) – Early Fall
- Cru Winter Conference (Minneapolis, MN) – Winter Break
- Big Break (Panama City Beach, FL) – Spring Break
Each of these retreats is designed for fun, community-building, and spiritual growth.
