Campus Crusade for Christ is different from the high school Campus Life group, which is part of Youth for Christ, International. Youth for Christ is headed by Jay Kessler. The former, founded by Bill Bright, is headquartered in Arrowhead Springs, CA. You should be able to get a statement of faith from them there. At one time, CCC required that their leaders not speak in tongues, or become involved in a church that allowed this, but I don't know whether that's still the case.
