God has called Inter Varsity to plant and to build witnessing communities of students and faculty who follow Jesus on college and university campuses. Through these groups, we believe ever–increasing numbers of students and faculty from all ethnic groups and areas of the campus will be transformed by the Gospel. We expect to see campuses increasingly become places where people, ideas, and structures flourish to the glory of God.

We confidently anticipate that our Inter Varsity alumni will become change agents across the country and around the world. We pursue this calling by discerning and actively participating in what God is already doing on campus.
