Serving With

CRU Chattanooga

Background

Aubry: He is the 11th of 12 children, born and raised in the Onion Bottom and South Chattanooga Housing Projects in a single-parent home. After practicing a season of dealing drugs and promiscuity, he received Christ in 1991 while watching Billy Graham on TV. He was intimately disciplined by two men who taught him how to be a student of God’s word and how to share his faith. After completing his Bachelor’s degree (Organizational Management) through Covenant College’s Quest Program in 2003, he was challenged by a childhood friend to join Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ) and return to his childhood community to rescue the lost.

Jerri: She was born and raised in Long Beach, California, in a single-parent home. In 1992, she surrendered to Christ. She graduated from Metropolitan State University (Denver) with a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism. She relocated to Chattanooga in 2007 to explore something new. While working and teaching in public schools, and seeing broken families and hopelessness, she joined Cru in 2001.

Ministry

CRU is a non-denominational outreach organization passionate about connecting people to Christ. Since 2004, Aubry and Jerri have been serving Howard School (Chattanooga) and reaching students with the Gospel and teaching them in group gatherings and through life-on-life discipling. In 2017, CRU asked them to lead a Gap Year Project consisting of international high school graduates to Ecuador and Uganda during the 2018-19 school year. After the Gap Year experience, God turned their hearts to the parents. With CRU Family Life Local, they will continue serving the campus, but with the purpose of reaching and discipling both child and parent(s) with the Gospel.
