Veterans & Retired
Veterans and Retirees
Transitioning to civilian life can be a daunting task. You have answered the call of duty, and served your country well. As you re-enter the civilian world, we recognize the need for spiritual support and guidance that addresses your specific needs.
Through small groups, biblical resources, and partnerships with Chaplains, and church-based ministries, Cru Military helps develop you spiritually throughout your career. We provide resources and lay counselor training for recovery from PTSD and combat trauma, as well as resources and seminars to develop and maintain strong covenantal marriages and godly families. Find encouragement and faith in God while facing difficult battles at home as you did while in defense of our country.
