CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP/USA

STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT

Purpose

In
response to God’s love, grace and truth:

The purpose of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA is

to establish and advance at colleges and universities

witnessing communities of students and faculty

who follow Jesus as Savior and Lord:

growing in love for God,

God’s Word,

God’s people of every ethnicity and culture

and God’s purposes in the world.

Basis of Faith

    We believe in:

    The only true
    God, the almighty Creator of all things,

         existing eternally in three persons—

         Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—full of love
    and glory.

    The unique divine
    inspiration,

         entire trustworthiness

         and authority of the Bible.

    The value and
    dignity of all people:

         created in God’s image to live in love
    and holiness,

         but alienated from God and each other
    because of our sin and guilt,

         and justly subject to God’s wrath.

    Jesus Christ,
    fully human and fully divine,

         who lived as a perfect example,

         who assumed the judgment due sinners by dying
    in our place,

         and who was bodily raised from the dead and
    ascended as Savior and Lord.

    Justification
    by God’s grace to all who repent

         and put their faith in Jesus Christ alone
    for salvation.

    The indwelling
    presence and transforming power of the Holy Spirit,

         who gives to all believers a new life and
    a new calling to obedient

             service.

    The unity of all
    believers in Jesus Christ,

         manifest in worshipping and witnessing churches

         making disciples throughout the world.

    The victorious
    reign and future personal return of Jesus Christ,

         who will judge all people with justice and
    mercy,

         giving over the unrepentant to eternal condemnation

         but receiving the redeemed into eternal life.

    To God be glory
    forever.
