Faculty Ministry
God has strategically placed faculty, staff and administrators on college campuses across the world. Imagine what God might do if Faculty together engaged in what we call the Four Faculty Loves:
- Love God/one another
- Love your campus
- Love your academic discipline
- Love our world
InterVarsity's Faculty Ministry provides resources and support for faculty flourishing together on campus.
