Our Vision

We have taken some time to look at InterVarsity's past and present. Just as the word "movement" implies, InterVarsity is also concerned about moving into the future in a way that will touch lives involved with higher education with the saving message of Jesus Christ.

The driving force that guides us on our road to tomorrow is our vision. Proverbs reminds us that "without vision the people perish." (Prov. 29:18) Our vision helps us set our course and be good stewards of every resource God has placed in our care. Our vision helps us know where and when to focus our energy. It also reminds us of the strategy to which we are committed in reaching the college world.

InterVarsity's vision is built around three emphases. First, we seek to BUILD COLLEGIATE FELLOWSHIPS. In Scripture, God clearly uses people to bring about His purposes. These fellowships, communities of believers, are a critical means through which God chooses to work in us and those around us.

Second, InterVarsity seeks to DEVELOP DISCIPLES who embody Biblical values. Like Jesus, we are interested in helping people grow into the individuals God has purposed them to be.

Third, we are constantly moving to ENGAGE THE CAMPUS in all its ethnic diversity with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are interested in every individual who comprises the college or university world. More than that, however, we are also interested in the environment in which they live and work. We are committed to seeing God's hand touch not only the fish in the pond, but also the pond itself.
