InterVarsity Christian
Fellowship was born in the
tiny office of Pastor Scott
Bradshaw, the club’s adviser.
Students wanted a college
environment where they could
come together and worship and
talk about God, without fear of
being judged.
As membership swelled, the
students moved from the
cramped office to the the
bright, airy Solarium, next to
the cafeteria.
Today, over 40 students gather
on Tuesdays from 12:30 to
1:30 p.m., and about 15 on
Wednesdays from noon to 1
p.m., for pizza, praise, and
prayer. Several members play
the guitar, and everyone singsclub
leader Irina Zvir harmonizes
perfectly- one could say
she has the voice of an angel,
and in more ways than one.
The focus of the group, however,
is the Bible Study, led by
Pastor Bradshaw, once the
group has reassembled into a
circle. Bradshaw is a no-nonsense
kind of guy- he doesn’t
sugarcoat anything. The
Christian road was never supposed
to be easy.
The Fellowship, however,
welcomes everybody-
Christian and non-Christian.
They don’t require regular
attendance at the meetings;
they don’t even require anyone
to stay the entire time.
Students’ majors span the spectrum-
one wants to be a missionary;
another studies the
arts.
The InterVarsity meetings
begin and end with prayer.
Heads bow, and the floor is
open to anyone with requests.
A student may ask others to
pray that her test next week
goes well, while another asks
that his grandmother be healed
of cancer. Most of all, the
members thank God for allowing
them to gather together at
the college.
InterVarsity Christian
Fellowship gladly welcomes
new members, whether they’re
already devoted Christians or
just curious. For more informatio
