“Everyone is talking about InterVarsity!”: New Ministry at Salem Community College

Earlier this year, the president of Salem Community College (SCC) in New Jersey held a meeting of the campus department chairs.

Do You Need a Mentor or a Spiritual Director?

Mentors, like Tyler and Paul, shaped some of the most important moments in my walk with Jesus.

In high school, Tyler challenged me to memorize Scripture, cast vision for evangelism that led to baptizing two friends, and created space for accountability — like the night he drove me home and listened as I confessed a secret sin that had been eating at my soul.

Being a good leader is overrated.

Latetia Bobo: Remembering Our Friend Who Spoke Life to Many

We are mourning the loss of Latetia and her amazing influence on others. Latetia believed that Jesus has life for every student, every campus, and every part of our unjust world. Latetia led our InterVarsity movement, particularly on the West Coast and among our Black Campus Ministries community, in a prophetic invitation to believe that God will bring revival to our campuses, but the revival will start in our own hearts.

Women & Leadership: What We Learn from Mary Magdalene

Sometimes, being a woman and being a leader can be difficult. Even in the ways the Church has grown in accepting and affirming women, it can still feel lonely or isolating. Mary Magdalene knew this well. As we celebrate Women’s History Month, let’s look at her life to see what we can learn about how God views women.
