InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is an interdenominational,
evangelical student-led ministry serving students, faculty, and
staff at the University since 1945.
We are a group of students who are committed to learning
about what it means to be Christians. We come to know God better
by living out the teachings of the Bible. We invite people of
all denominations and backgrounds to join us in fellowship and
service.
- Interdenominational
For people of any or no church background. We encourage
attendance at the church of your choice on Sundays.
- Evangelical
Holding forth the truths of Biblical Christianity to build
up those who are already Christians and to call those who
are not to a personal commitment to Jesus Christ as Savior
and Lord.
- Student Led
Yearly, students select among their peers those who will
lead them. Full-time IVCF staff advise, coach, and train all
students.
These are our commitments and the values that shape our
movement, but it doesn't just happen. There are discipleships,
activities, and events planned to help each of us grow
personally and belong to the fellowship. Membership is open to
all students, faculty, and staff who are interested in our
purpose and desire to take part in our programs. Our purposes
are:
- To seek by personal and group testimony to lead students
to a saving faith in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and
Savior
- To encourage spiritual growth of Christian students by
prayer, Bible study, and Christian fellowship
- To present the call to Christian service, both at home
and abroad, encouraging students to begin involvement now
- To help the Christian student integrate his faith with
his academic environment, beginning to form a God-centered
world view and Christian lifestyle
