Why Christian Communities?

God uses Christian communities to transform every corner of campus: from the party scene, to the athletic field, to dorm rooms, to the library.

Watch how God is at work changing students' lives, and see how you can be a part!

Today's college students experience loneliness at epidemic levels

We want to change that. InterVarsity communities provide deep friendship and, more importantly, introduce students to a God who meets their every need.

God cares about the loneliness and anxiety students are experiencing.

He created each of them, and their social, mental, physical, and spiritual health are intricately connected. In thriving Christian community, every student can find God's hope, joy, and life abundant.

“Students need to have places where they can be themselves, ask questions, find encouragement, and learn about Jesus. Our 2030 Calling will offer this on more and more campuses every year.”

– Tom Lin

President, InterVarsity

“I discovered a community I never knew I needed: a group of people that genuinely cared for me and wanted to understand who I was. I also discovered a new knowledge of who Jesus is. I realized that the gospel was this radical, redemptive truth, and I was excited about it.”

– Emily B.

InterVarsity Alumna

“I experienced a lot of joy through InterVarsity’s ministry and knew I needed to bring that to our campus. I wanted to create an authentic community for students to share their struggles.”

– Wesley V.

InterVarsity Student

“I gave my life to Jesus somewhere on a bus in the middle of Georgia [driving back to school after an InterVarsity service trip]. And [because of Christ] I have felt love for people that I don’t really want to love sometimes. I’ve had my heart broken for people and campuses that could not have possibly come from my own heart.”
– Taylor, University of Rhode Island alumna, now a fulltime InterVarsity campus minister

“When I first went to InterVarsity, people genuinely wanted to know about my life. That was something so foreign to me. That one night I went to InterVarsity, I gave my life back to Jesus! I am the prodigal that came home!”
– Angel, a Honolulu Community College student and InterVarsity chapter planter

“InterVarsity created a friendly environment, allowing me to meet Christians and have friendships with them for the first time. It’s so incredible how rapidly my life has changed. The things that I used to do I don’t do any longer. It’s been a total 180. Everything has changed.”
– Bennett, Dickinson College student

Start Christian communities that change lives. Spark revival everywhere.

Community, belonging, and love are the heart of God. And he moves through Christian communities, so students will experience his fullness!

Unfortunately, more than 1,100 of our nation's major college and university campuses (with 1,000+ students) are without a witnessing community sharing the love and hope of Jesus. As we seek to reach our goal of catalyzing Christian communities on every campus by the year 2030, you can help us plant on 75 of those campuses in 2020 alone!

Students need Christian community where they can meet Jesus, discover God's plan for their lives, and make their faith their own. Imagine how God will use students to spark revival everywhere because of how he's transformed them on campus through Christian community.
