WHO WE ARE
Our Vision: We are a multi-ethnic community that shares the love of God with and desires transformation in every student, faculty, and staff at CSUN and Pierce College.
There are 45,000 students at CSUN and Pierce College and God loves every single one of them. However, the reality is there are so many who don’t know or aren’t sure about his love. InterVarsity exists to allow people to be able to have a chance to experience God’s love and experience who he could be in their lives. This group seeks to encounter Jesus, to ask questions, and to be in a diverse community of every ethnicity, culture, & gender.
Our Mission:
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at CSUN and Pierce College is a community that is learning to follow Jesus, love CSUN and Pierce College, and impact the world.
Our Affiliation
We are a multi-ethnic, inter-denominational Christian Fellowship. We have no denominational or church ties. We encourage church attendance and recognize the diversity of traditions. At CSUN, we are one chapter of over 500 in the United States who are affiliated with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA.
Our History
InterVarsity's first chapter on the CSUN campus came in the late 1950s, when Cal State Northridge was first established in the San Fernando Valley. Geography professor, Dr. John W. Alexander began an InterVarsity chapter on the campus during his one year tenure at the University. Dr. Alexander eventually went on to teach in the Midwest and in the 1960s was invited to serve as InterVarsity/USA President.
Throughout the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, InterVarsity students gathered together in fellowship at CSUN, to pray and engage the campus with the gospel. From 1990 to 2001, a reorganization of InterVarsity chapters in Southern California left CSUN without IV staff. In 2001, InterVarsity in Southern California recommitted staff to build the InterVarsity chapter at CSUN. Since 2001, groups of students have been meeting together in prayer, support, fellowship, and ministry.
Today, we are a student-run organization that participates in large group fellowship, small group Bible studies, and a multitude of outreach events teaming up with CSUN, Pierce College and the greater Los Angeles community.
