Take your faith to the next level this spring break!
Good news: We are back on for 2022! 
​​
Spend your spring break in beautiful Panama City Beach, FL growing closer to Jesus and introducing others to him. This week will be an opportunity for you to learn to talk to others about Jesus, grow in your relationship with God, and to build lasting relationships with others from your campus.  You will not regret investing your week with us serving the Lord!

One of the highlights of our trip is the opportunity to not just learn to talk to others about Jesus but to practice this skill out on the beaches. Every year people make life changing decision to follow Jesus as a result of the conversations that happen. Is God calling you to join us?

We will have students from many Cru Ministries joining us! If you are connected to one of the following ministries please go ahead and register.(Brooklyn,  Buffalo, James Madison, Lehigh, Lynchburg, George Mason, Naval Academy, North Texas, SUNY Cortland, Syracuse, Texas Tech West Chester or West Virginia University)

If you are coming from another Cru ministry we would love to have you, but please don't register before confirming we have space for you. Send an email to Ramsey to inquire about joining us.
