Ministry speciality or emphasis: Evangelism and discipleship among college and university students in the United States, and promoting participation in and support of world missions. IVCF's philosophy was built on student leadership of campus groups, served by staff workers. Inter-Varsity has made a significant contribution to American Evangelicalism through its grass roots leadership training of students, its books published by Inter-Varsity Press, its missions emphasis particularly as expressed in the triennial Urbana Student Missionary Conventions (held first in Toronto in 1946, and from 1948 afterward in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois).
Major ministry areas: Campus ministry, Inter-Varsity Press (produced HIS Magazine, 1941-1987), Twenty-One Hundred (media division), Nurses Christian Fellowship
Affiliations: Inter-Varsity is one of many member movements which comprise the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES), representing different nations.
Other historical background sources: Inter-Varsity's history is extensively documented in Keith and Gladys Hunt's For Christ and the University, published in 1991 by Inter-Varsity Press, which includes an extensive organizational time line.
