What do we believe?

InterVarsity is an evangelical Christian fellowship that believes that the Bible is divinely inspired word of God and that it is entirely trustworthy, and has the authority to be applied in our lives today.

We believe that in the beginning there was Man and God in perfect harmony, but because of disobedience to God (called sin), there is now a gap between ourselves and God. We are unable to bridge this gap on our own. But because God loved man so much -- He sent his Son to us named Jesus Christ.

Jesus came to earth and was God made flesh. He then was crucified on the cross so that he might pay for our sins. He then was buried and on the third day, rose again and his bodily resurrection was witnessed by many. After he rejoined the Father in heaven, Jesus sent to earth the Holy Spirit so that we might be guided and strengthened in the truth. Jesus' sacrifice bridges the gap between Man and God, and through faith in Christ, we are made new and have eternal life.

We also expect the personal return of Jesus Christ, when He will call all of his children unto Him and time will be no more.
