Who We Are

Asian American Campus Ministry (AACM) exists to see Christ followers developed and the Asian American community transformed. AACM is a part of a greater, national movement on college campuses called InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. 

What We Do

Things have changed a bit since we got started as Campus Crusade for Christ in 1951. This was way before cell phones, WiFi or laptops. Many campuses were barely integrated. Today, students are more likely to text their parents than write a letter, and classrooms reflect the diversity of cultures and ethnic identities in the world around us.

But some things have not changed. Parking on campus is still a pain, and students still hope to learn as much (or more) about life as they do academic subjects. Their biggest questions revolve around God, forgiveness, love and what it all means for them. That is why we want to be on all kinds of campuses, all over the world, sharing the good news of the gospel with students and faculty members.

If you look for Cru on campus, you’ll find a community of people who care deeply about one another and who are excited about helping others know Jesus. You’ll find opportunities to get involved in all kinds of ministry on campus and around the world. You’ll find people trying hard to reflect the love and grace they have experienced through Christ. You won’t find people who are perfect- just passionate. Honestly, that’s what you’ll find wherever you find Cru – in the city, on the military base, in the workplace.

We are a caring community of people who are passionate about Jesus. And passionate about helping the world know him, too.

What We Believe

The only true God, the almighty Creator of all things, existing eternally in three persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit full of love and glory.

The unique divine inspiration, entire trustworthiness and authority of the Bible.

The value and dignity of all people: created in God’s image to live in love and holiness, but alienated from God and each other because of our sin and guilt, and justly subject to God’s wrath.

Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine, who lived as a perfect example, who assumed the judgment due sinners by dying in our place, and who was bodily raised from the dead and ascended as Savior and Lord.

Justification by God’s grace to all who repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.

The indwelling presence and transforming power of the Holy Spirit, who gives to all believers a new life and a new calling to obedient service.

The unity of all believers in Jesus Christ, manifest in worshiping and witnessing churches making disciples throughout the world.

The victorious reign and future personal return of Jesus Christ, who will judge all people with justice and mercy, giving over the unrepentant to eternal condemnation but receiving the redeemed into eternal life.

To God be glory forever.
