Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) Philippines is a movement that works to bring students and graduates under the transforming grace of God so that they might effect change in their communities and the world. And this year (2023) is also an important milestone for our movement as we celebrate Godโs faithfulness in and through us the past 70 years of our existence. From then on, IVCF has produced leaders serving the Philippine church, government, media, the world of art, literature and music, educational institutions, missions organizations, and community development organizations. Because we believe that IVCF is not a substitute for church involvement nor a substitute for the local church. Therefore, the IVCF chapter on campus is just an evangelistic arm of the local church. We look at the fellowship as a "mission board", the "missionaries" being the Christian students, sent out and supported in prayer by the local church. Lastly, IVCF will not start its own local churches. It is committed to help, to build up and serve the existing local churches. We hope that as we disciple students and graduates, it will be contributing to the growth of the local churches. (sources: IVCF Staff Manual, GT Handbook, Student Handbook)
