Who we are:
Asian American InterVarsity is a home for Asian and Asian Americans who desire to be a part of an outreaching community exploring the power of Jesus’ story for college students, our culture, and the world. We meet weekly and offer a number of opportunities for people interested in growing in their faith or exploring spirituality through building close relationships, relevant teaching, and investigative bible studies.
Here are some things that make InterVarsity @ Ohio State distinctive.
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at Ohio State is a family of three chapters. You are currently on the Asian American chapter site, but we have two sister chapters whom we love and esteem highly. They are: InterVarsity Christian Fellowship: Undergrad Chapter (IVU) and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship: Black Student Movement (BSM).
Why we exist:
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.
