(No, we are not a sports club).

We are a gathering of Christians and seekers at Drew University, from different races, ethnicities, cultures, religious backgrounds and faith traditions.

We dislike being labeled, stereotyped and otherwise put in boxes made of people's pre-conceived notions, but we will say this: we are either in love with or intrigued by Jesus Christ, and exist to help people either know Him better or begin to find out who He really is.

We are one of over 500 campus chapters organized under InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA. If you would like to learn more about the InterVarsity organization, you can do so by clicking on the InterVarsity links under the Beyond Drew section.

Our Vision:

In response to God's love, grace and truth:
IVCF at Drew seeks to be a diverse and unified community that brings the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Drew while strengthening the faith and lives of believers.

Purpose Statement

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.

Doctrinal Basis

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 boldly 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 through 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.
