Jesus shared the daily rhythms of life with people — eating, walking, and talking — as he met their physical and spiritual needs. Our brothers and sisters in the inner city follow his example.
Cru® Inner City’s Circle of Hope equips our partner churches to walk alongside their neighbors and serve their communities with compassion and purpose.
We provide Compassionate Products™ and training to support the church in establishing relationships with people in their neighborhood.
We mobilize volunteers, resourced churches, and financial investment to increase our inner-city church partners’ capacity for life-changing evangelism and whole-person discipleship that transforms communities.
We train, coach, and encourage church leaders. We work with churches to develop programs for effective evangelism and whole-person discipleship. These programs are for both children and adults and minister to their physical needs while introducing them to a relationship to Jesus.
The Circle of Hope is grounded in the ultimate giver of hope, Jesus Christ. As people encounter Christ, and with support from their local church and Cru Inner City, they grow in their faith. The hope of Jesus shines through as they interact with others in their neighborhood, starting the cycle of hope once more.
