About Us

We believe that God has called us to reach every corner of every campus.

Change the university. Change the world.

For over 75 years, InterVarsity has had a vital presence on hundreds of college campuses, courageously proclaiming Jesus as Lord and Savior, engaging in discipleship around Scripture, and loving people of every ethnicity and culture.

Our vision is to see students and faculty transformed, campuses renewed, and world changers developed.

Our chapters exist to serve the campus.

We welcome students into caring, diverse communities, where they can build friendships and explore Christian faith in the marketplace of ideas.

At many campuses, we have more than one chapter, which may include separate outreaches to international students, nursing students, sororities and fraternities, athletes, artists, and ethnic minority groups, as well as faculty and career-specific graduate student chapters.

Then

Our history stretches back to 1877, when a group of Christian students began to meet together to study the Bible and witness to fellow students. This eventually led to InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA and the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES).
