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. 

Hundreds of college campuses have no ongoing Christian ministry reaching students. Some of these campuses are in your area! InterVarsity longs to see revival, and we want to catalyze movements that call every corner of every campus to follow Jesus. You and your friends can play a vital role in seeing this revival happen!

As National Director of Chapter Planting, Shawn Young oversees 5 national programs with a combined goal of planting 240 new chapters by 2027. The Planting Team empowers students, faculty and local volunteers to plant Christian communities on college campuses.

The National Theological Formation Team develops resources and curates training that engage InterVarsity staff in theological formation and reflection. The team seeks to resource growing disciples on staff who embrace and minister out of InterVarsity’s shared doctrinal commitments, and who wisely and theologically engage the rapidly evolving university context.
