Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year! We are so glad that you are here!
Why we exist:
In response to God’s love, grace and truth:
The Purpose of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA is to establish and advance at colleges and universities witnessing communities of students and faculty who follow Jesus as Savior and Lord:
growing in love for God, God’s Word, God’s people of every ethnicity and culture and God’s purposes in the world.
What we believe:
- The Bible is unique, inspired by God and the authority in our lives.
- Jesus Christ if fully God and fully man.
- Jesus Christ gave up his life for our sins giving us right standing with God.
- Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead.
- The Holy Spirit is active in the work of empowering us to follow Christ.
- We believe and expect that Jesus Christ will return.
