MITKCF is a chapter of InterVarsity
Christian Fellowship (IVCF), a interdenominational evangelical
student-oriented ministry found at colleges and universities in over 600
chapters all over the U.S. IVCF employs over 500 staffworkers who minister
to 25,000 actively involved students.
As an InterVarsity chaper, we have staff trained specifically for and devoted
to ministry to college students. Additionally, InterVarsity provides resources
such as the Asian-American Leaders Conference and the triannual
Urbana Missions Conference for the
benefit of students across different campuses.
In addition to KCF, there are five other InterVarsity chapters at MIT:
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.
We believe in:
- The unique Divine inspiration, entire trustworthiness, and
authority of the Bible.
- The Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- The necessity and efficacy of the substitutionary death of Jesus
Christ for the redemption of the world, and the historic fact of His
bodily ressurection.
- The presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the work of
regeneration.
- The expectation of the personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
InterVarsity pursues its vision committed to these Biblical values:
- Evangelism
- We belive that every person ought to have an opportunity to respond to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to accept His invitation to follow Him into a life of Christian discipleship.
- Spiritual Formation
- We will teach and practice spiritual discipline (e.g., personal Bible study, prayer, reliance upon the Holy Spirit, worship) so that men and women can learn to grow in Christian obedience and Christ-like maturity.
- The Church
- We will serve the church by helping each person to appreciate its purpose and by encouraging their activity as lifelong worshippers and participating memebers.
- Human Relationships
- We will teach and demonstrate by example the command of Christ that we love one another, and that healthy human relationships are a mark of true discipleship and eventuate in fruitful friendships, marriages, and working partnerships.
- Righteousness
- Aware of the reality of evil as it exists in the human heart and in the social structures and system of global community, we will teach and demonstrate repentance and humility and the importance of personal integrity, compassion, and prophetic renunciation and confrontation.
- Vocational Stewardship
- We will challenge Christians to acknowledge the stewardship of personal skills and vocational opportunity so as to bring honor to God through our work in the college community, in the home, or in the marketplace.
- World Evangelization
- Believing that God has called all Christians to involvement in world evangelization, we seek to help each person know how to hear that call and discover their place of maximum participation.
