Our Core Values

These values give a fuller picture of what we care about, and how we puruse our vision of engaging with students at U.Va.


  • Scripture: We encounter the living God through scripture and are transformed by the Holy Spirit as we read, study, teach and obey His Word.
  • Prayer: We express our faith, love and dependence on God through lives of prayer and worship.
  • Community: We promote authentic relationships and redemptive communities marked by God's grace and truth.
  • Evangelism: We proclaim and live out the gospel with love and boldness, calling people to repentance, faith and new life in Jesus Christ.
  • Ethnic Reconciliation and Justice: We pursue ethnic reconciliation by practicing mutual empowerment, grace and truth and by promoting personal and systemic justice.
  • College and University: We are called to be a redeeming influence among its people, ideas and structures.
  • Spiritual Formation: We cultivate intimacy with God and growth in Christ-like character through personal and corporate spiritual disciplines, empowered by the Spirit.
  • Discipleship of the Mind: We engage in learning and thoughtful Biblical reflection in every area of life.
  • Leadership Development: We develop women and men to serve as leaders at every level of InterVarsity and ultimately for the Kingdom of God, honoring God's gifts and calling in them.
  • Whole Life Stewardship: We proclaim Jesus as Lord over all creation and culture, striving to integrate faith, life and vocation in serving Him.
  • Church: We partner with churches in campus ministry and equip students, faculty and staff to be lifelong active members in local congregations.
  • Missions: We serve God and partner with His people to extend His kingdom cross-culturally on campus and around the world.
