As part of Cru City in the Raleigh/Durham area, we are working with a team of 10 other missionaries that share our passion to connect people to Jesus and to see the flourishing of the city. This is an amazing opportunity for us and we feel it is a wonderful fit for our family. We hope to plant roots in the Raleigh/Durham area and invest in the community in a number of different ways for years to come. Here is the vision of what we hope to see God accomplish in and through our new ministry team!

College Students and Young Professionals

The RDU area is a strategic mission field that allows us to live out our passion to engage with college students and young professionals. There are 14 universities in the Raleigh/Durham area representing over 120,000 students. In addition to this, a boom in industries like technology, medicine and education are drawing young professionals to the area. This is creating a great opportunity to share the love of Jesus to future leaders. We believe that if we reach this generation with the Gospel, it can change the world.

Church Partnership

Statistics tell us that 155 million Americans do not believe in God, the Bible or attend church. In addition to this, 2.5 million are leaving church communities every year. We will be partnering with local churches to provide staff, resources, equipping and training. We want to see Cru’s DNA of discipleship and evangelism revitalize the local church. Our heart is to see churches grow and new churches planted.

City Renewal

The Gospel changes people’s lives individually. At the same time, the Gospel has the power to transform entire cities. In light of this, it is important that we share our faith in both word and deed. Our family will be part of a ministry team that will collectively work and partner to solve systemic problems in Raleigh and to lift city burdens like homelessness, human trafficking and fatherlessness.
