Our Values

In pursuing our vision, seven Biblical values stand as guideposts to our mission. These values give a fuller picture of what we are committed to as we pursue our vision of engaging the campus with the Gospel.

Evangelism
We believe that every person should have an opportunity to respond to Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior, and to accept His invitation to follow Him into a life of Christian discipleship.

Spiritual Formation
InterVarsity teaches and practices spiritual disciplines (for example, personal Bible study, prayer, reliance upon the Holy Spirit, worship) so that men and women can learn to grow in Christian obedience and Christ like maturity.

The Church
We are committed to serving the church by helping each person appreciate his or her purpose, and by encouraging their activity in a congregation as lifelong worshippers and participating members.

Human Relationships
We teach and demonstrate, by example, Christ’s commands: that we love one another; and that we strive for healthy human relationships, which are a mark of true discipleship and eventuate in fruitful friendships, marriages, and working partnerships.

Righteousness
InterVarsity seeks to be aware of the reality of evil that exists in the human heart and the social structures and systems of the global community. We teach and demonstrate repentance, humility, the importance of personal integrity, compassion, and prophetic renunciation and confrontation.

Vocational Stewardship
InterVarsity challenges Christians to acknowledge the stewardship of personal skills and vocational opportunity, so as to bring honor to God through our work in the college community, home, or marketplace.

World Missions
We believe that God has called all Christians to involvement in world evangelization. We seek to help each person know how to hear that call and find his or her place of maximum participation.
