NIU Cru

NIU Cru Cru at Northern Illinois University is a campus ministry focused on connecting real people who have real issues with a real God. Come hang out!!

NIU Cru exists to give every student on campus every opportunity to know and follow Jesus. RealLife, our weekly meeting, is in the Holmes Student Center Sky Room at 9 PM on Thursdays. To get more involved, we have Community Night with dinner and small groups at the Cru House (1230 Blackhawk Road) on Mondays at 6:30.

NIU Cru, we're just under a week away from Fall Getaway! There's still time to register at the link in our bio! Find the answers to your questions here 👇

What does my registration cost cover? Your registration covers the entire program, two nights lodging at the camp, all three meals on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday. It does not cover any travel expenses.

How will I get to Fall Getaway? Staff and students are currently organizing carpooling details and will get that information to you before Friday.

What should I expect? There will be main sessions with games, worship, and time in the Word with our main speakers. Saturday afternoon you'll be free to enjoy the camp's activities like canoeing, high ropes course, giant swing, field games and more! And of course there will be plenty of time to hang out and get to know students from your campus.

Still have questions? DM us or reach out to a staff member or student leader!
