About CRU
CRU is a Bible-based, interdenominational Christian youth organisation whose vision is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to the students of the independent schools of Australia, to nurture Christians, encourage church membership and train young Christians for a life of servant leadership.
Hope 103.2 is proudly supported by
The number of Australian children and youth has grown dramatically since 1930 and demographers speak of significant future growth. Tragically, the proportion of children and youth attending church each week has plummeted. In fact, only 1 in 7 Australians attend church regularly. Many young people don’t personally know a Christian and have not heard of God’s love shown in Jesus. We are on a mission to help change that.
