Our staff are here because they love students. They listen, serve, hang out, teach, mentor, laugh with, guide and encourage. Like you, each are on a spiritual journey and have their own unique talents, stories, passions and struggles. Get to know them.
J.W. and Stephanie Betts
We are originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico and we’ve been on staff with Cru since 2001. We love hanging out with college students talking about our awesome savior Jesus. Before serving here in central NY, we were on staff in Sevilla, Spain, and Kearney Nebraska. Our life is an exciting adventure of faith. We’ve got four kids who we really love a lot: Jack, Josiah, Titus and Ruby. They keep us wild and crazy. Our family likes bikes, books and bean burritos from Taco Bell.

Nic and Christy Brenner
We both graduated from University of New Hampshire and have been on staff with Cru since 2006. We have a little boy named Jack and are hoping God continues to increase our tribe. Nic loves playing soccer, drinking Aroma Joe’s coffee, most things having to do with the outdoors, and spending time with the fam and friends. Christy is into photography, gardening, date nights with her man and being a mom. We both love seeing and being a part of students growing closer to Jesus.
