Frame of Reference
All staff members subscribe annually to the Purpose Statement
of InterVarsity:
In response to God's love, grace and truth:
The purpose of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA is
to establish and advance at colleges and universities
witnessing communities of students and faculty
who follow Jesus as Savior and Lord:
growing in love for God,
God's Word,
God's people of every ethnicity and culture
and God's purposes in the world.
This purpose is admittedly more limited than the Great Commission.
As a mission extension of the local church, we have adopted
boundaries on our activities based on our call to serve a
defined group of God's people. Within the context of InterVarsity's
purpose, all of the relationships and tasks that staff members
engage in as part of their work for InterVarsity have both
eternal and temporal components.
Values:
InterVarsity is committed to developing men and women
from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and generations, whom
God calls to work with us for both shorter and longer periods
of service, as we pursue the call of God in the university
world.
Maturing Disciple of Jesus Christ:
Every InterVarsity staff member is to be a maturing disciple
of the Lord Jesus Christ, growing in obedience to the Scriptures.
The marks of a long-term love relationship with Christ in
the fullness of His Spirit are described in Galatians 5:22:
"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control." In the
workplace, this fruit is revealed in healthy working relationships
which encourage all staff to accomplish their work and enhance
their focus on the spiritual aspects of their work.
Team Work:
Each individual staff person is a vital member of Christ's
body. This means that we will work with one another in ways
that honor and encourage all to grow in Christ while accomplishing
His work. Our community requires that each individual serve
as a team member in a collegial and open environment based
on values, relationships, and vision as well as structure
and position.
InterVarsity staff, both employees and volunteers, commit
to serve God and all InterVarsity colleagues, students, and
partners, with sensitivity to both the eternal and temporal
dimensions of our work. "Whatever your task, work heartily,
as serving the Lord." (Colossians 3:23a)
