“Through being a leader with InterVarsity while I was in college, God revealed so much to me about his plan for us to reach the world around us and the world at large. I’ve developed a much bigger view of what it means to be on mission with Jesus—going to Urbana was one of those times. A lot of what we do at our church plant is taken directly from the things I learned at InterVarsity, and Urbana really sparked in me the idea of missional living.”
For more than 75 years, InterVarsity has had a vital presence on hundreds of college campuses, courageously proclaiming Jesus as Lord, seeking his kingdom, and engaging in discipleship around Scripture.

You can reach them by investing in campus ministry, bringing a student-led gospel presence to every corner of every campus.
