Phil Nordquist has served with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship since 1999, centering his work on helping plant new ministry on college campuses. He now leads planting efforts as the Regional Ministry Coordinator for Indiana and Illinois and serves nationally as Associate Director of Coaching, guiding the National Coaching Center and a team of planting coaches who support planting every corner of every campus. And if you really want to get Phil talking, ask him about Syracuse basketball, the Buffalo Bills, or the Chicago Cubs—he’s always ready to celebrate the highs but more likely commiserate through the heartbreaks. 

The InterVarsity Planting Department exists to inspire, equip and support anyone who wants to try their hand at planting something new on college campuses. Through coaching, training and a variety of programs and resources, this team empowers InterVarsity to plant revival communities in every corner of every campus.
