Who We Are
"
"
A multiethnic community that seeks to know God and make Him known to every corner of campus, and ultimately the world.
We are a community of students who are seeking to know and make known the full life that Jesus offers. We meet every week as a large group to worship God and hear from different speaker about who God is and what that means for us. We also offer small group communities that meet throughout the week where we study the life of Jesus, the purposes of God, and challenge one another to put our faith into action.
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, is an evangelical and interdenominational campus ministry. InterVarsity is active on more than 600 college and university campuses nationwide and we are the VCU chapter of InterVarsity.
InterVarsity means "between universities." The first InterVarsity chapter in the United States began in 1938 at the University of Michigan. Since InterVarsity was incorporated in 1941, thousands of students have become thoughtful representatives of God's kingdom and have moved into leadership roles in churches, organizations, corporations and agencies around the world.
Doctrinal Statement
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.
