Thomas Trevethan
Tom Trevethan was one of InterVarsity’s most gifted Bible expositors and he authored the books The Beauty of God’s Holiness (InterVarsity Press) and Our Joyful Confidence: The Lordship of Jesus in Colossians (DILL Press). Tom earned an MA from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and served as a Campus Staff Minister at the University of Michigan for many years serving both students and faculty throughout his career. Tom most recently served on the InterVarsity Faculty Ministry Leadership Team as an Associate Director for Research and Publications, writing many resources for faculty and grad students and contributing to the Lamp Post faculty newsletters for several years (now Campus Calling). Tom retired in 2014 after 47 years of service with InterVarsity. He lived in Ann Arbor, MI with his wife Barbara, where they enjoyed many years of singing with their church and with the local Choral Union which won two Grammy Awards in 2005. Our hearts go out to Barb and their family upon learning of Tom's passing in October 2023. His voice, in both writing as well as singing, will be greatly missed.

2100 Productions
Twentyonehundred (2100) productions is InterVarsity Christian Fellowship's multimedia team. We serve InterVarsity staff and students by helping them communicate ideas effectively and with excellence.
Today's college students are part of a fast-paced, sophisticated, and highly visual media culture. Our mission is to create and use media to influence the hearts and minds of students in the university world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
As part of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, we want to encourage students to follow Jesus as Savior and Lord, understand themselves and their culture more clearly, and live responsibly in relation to God, creation and other people. Using video, photography, design and story-telling, 2100 translates biblical ideas to visually rich media so that students can receive and interact with the good news through contemporary channels in a compelling, credible, and clear voice.
