Youth Group

Leading and guiding the next generation is not only about sharing the gospel with them but it is sharing our lives with them. New CRU is a collaborative effort between New Hope Church’s youth group and Albany CRU Highschool. Our vision is for New CRU is seeing faithful teens trust a faithful God to transform our communities. We try to live this out including encouraging and walking alongside youth and their families. Group leaders pray and intercede for our youth and their families; continually seek out opportunities to build stronger relations with youth to encourage and guide them as they try to live out their faith. Group leaders help to support the spiritual and physical needs of the youth in our church and our community.

New CRU meets the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month from September to July. The flow of the group involves leaders and youth sharing a meal together before doing a bible study followed by various activities (games, STEM projects, cooking, entrepreneur classes, or crafts.) New CRU uses every opportunity to build fellowship among the youth and build stronger intergenerational relationships within the church. These opportunities range from the youth doing serving projects together to taking trips together to having fun together. Background checks are run on all adults working with the youth.
