We take seriously our call to follow Jesus into all corners of the world and proclaim his love, grace and truth to all people and all cultures. Like the prophet Micah, we admonish students and faculty to "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God."
Since InterVarsity’s beginning, we have consistently called every generation of students to participate in God’s global mission and contribute to the ministry of IFES. Over the decades, this commitment has had various structures within InterVarsity. Our current restructuring is intended to align our missions priorities more closely with our Field Ministries.
InterVarsity’s Missions Director, Scott Bessenecker, oversees our campus-focused mission initiatives listed below. Our vision for growth is a deeper partnership with campus-resourcing ministries such as chapter planting, growth, evangelism, discipleship, etc. We want to provide greater clarity and integration as these teams innovate and serve the Field ministries.

Come seek the shalom of the city on an InterVarsity Urban Program, our weekend, week-long, and summer ministry experiences that take place in cities across the United States.
Global Programs are international spring break and summer ministry experiences where students encounter the kingdom of God, meet the global church, and serve around the world.
The Global Urban Trek immerses students in urban slums for seven weeks, discerning whether God is calling them to long-term service alongside the urban poor.
