About Faculty Ministry

Mission Statement

The Mission of InterVarsity's Faculty Ministry is encouraging and equipping Christian scholars to flourish and be a redeeming influence among the people, ideas and structures of higher education.

Vision Statement

The Vision of InterVarsity's Faculty Ministry is that Christian faculty have a redeeming influence within higher education as they:
  • Establish witnessing communities of Christian academics that reflect the diversity of the body of Christ
  • Follow God's call in spiritual formation and vocational discipleship
  • Balance excellence in life, research, teaching, mentoring, and service, for the glory of God
  • Practice their disciplines from a profoundly Christian viewpoint

Core Values

Four Core Values permeate all we do and are essential for the development of Christian scholars who will renew our universities:

  • Spiritual Formation: Cultivating intimacy with God and growth in Christ-like character, expressed in faith, love and dependence on God.
  • Community: Gathering in communities to “encourage one another to love and good deeds,” to learn and worship, and to sharpen one another “as iron sharpens iron.”
  • Evangelism & Service: Demonstrating and proclaiming the gospel with love and boldness, calling all to repentance, faith, and new life in Christ.
  • Integration of Faith, Learning & Practice: Engaging in learning and biblical reflection in every area of scholarship and life, seeking a unity of knowledge and practice, because our God is the Creator and Lord of all.
