The Challenge
56,387
Last year, there were 56,387 students enrolled at Ohio State.
That’s 56,387 students
being bombarded with spiritual and moral options, and facing challenging decisions about their life,
future, worldview, and spiritual beliefs
...all in an environment
that assumes that God is irrelevant*.
*72.9 percent of professors at elite doctoral universities (such as Ohio State) con-sider the Bible to be an “ancient book of fables”
” “
20% of the high school students who grow
up in churches will still be actively involved
in the Christian faith at the age of 30. 20%
90%
89% of unchurched young adults are open
to hearing and discussing the gospel 89%
97% of S&P 500 CEOs earned an
undergraduate degree at a college or
university.

Change the university and you change the world
Dr. Charles Malik, former president of the United Nations General
Assembly and Security Council
Why College?
Roughly 90% of all Christians made
their decision for Christ before they
reached the age of 21
The function of education is
to teach one to think
intensively and to think
critically.
- Martin Luther King Jr.
The aim of education should
be to teach us rather how
to think, than what to think
- John Dewey.
Through InterVarsity, students…
• Hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ
• Learn to walk as disciples of Jesus in thoughtful
Bible studies and intensive prayer
• Gain experience in a wide variety of leadership
roles
• Participate in vibrant, multiethnic fellowships
♦ Become active in God’s global mission
Our Response
Community
Faith in Ac"on “Inductive Bible study has
made me look deeper into
Scripture… I have such a
better understanding of
God and His Word.”
- Aerin, student
InterVarsity provides safe
space for all students to
explore and grow in their
faith
“Through missions with
InterVarsity, God has revealed his
hugeness to me. How he is the
God of all and will heal all of my
brokenness, along with the pain
of the world.”
- Megan, student
InterVarsity engages campus in
creative, thought-provoking, and
inviting ways about the wide-
reaching implications of the
Gospel.
Our Response
“Before this year I had never
shared my faith… now I love
evangelism because the more I
share about the Good News of
Jesus , the more I’m changed
by it myself.”
- Cailin, student
Evangelism is the lifeblood of
InterVarsity - not only is it the means
by which we reach campus, but it
provides a dynamic discipleship
experience
InterVarsity equips leaders with
professional leadership training so
that they will be prepared to lead
with vision, wisdom, and impact
on campus and beyond.
