We understand there is a large breadth of different viewpoints that currently exist in our churches today about various things. As a parachurch ministry, we recognize the complexity of this spectrum. If you have any questions or concerns about the following, please reach out to a staff worker.
InterVarsity upholds women at all levels of ministry leadership.*

InterVarsity acknowledges that sexual orientation is a complex topic. Please feel free to contact us to have a continued dialogue about this.
InterVarsity acknowledges that sexual and gender identity is extremely complex. We believe that attraction to someone of the same gender is not a sin, but our belief is that engaging in physical intimacy with same-sex partners is not God's intention.*

InterVarsity's Doctrinal Basis:

We believe in:
The only true God, the almighty Creator of all things,
existing eternally in three persons
Father; Son; and Holy Spirit; full of love and glory.

The unique divine inspiration,
entire trustworthiness,
and authority of the Bible.

The value and dignity of all people:
created in God’s image to live in love and holiness,
but alienated from God and each other because of our sin and guilt,
and justly subject to God’s wrath.

Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine,
who lived as a perfect example,
who assumed the judgment due sinners by dying in our place,
and who was bodily raised from the dead and ascended as Savior and Lord.

Justification by God’s grace to all who repent
and put their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.

The indwelling presence and transforming power of the Holy Spirit,
who gives to all believers a new life and a new calling to obedient service.

The unity of all believers in Jesus Christ,
manifest in worshiping and witnessing churches
making disciples throughout the world.

The victorious reign and future personal return of Jesus Christ,
who will judge all people with justice and mercy,
giving over the unrepentant to eternal condemnation
but receiving the redeemed into eternal life.
To God be glory forever.
In an effort to ensure unity within our leadership team, InterVarsity at UCSD requires all leaders to believe in our national Doctrinal Basis. Do you believe in and agree to this basis of faith?*

I acknowledge this.I have some questions about this.
