God's World Whole Life Stewardship - About

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA is committed to Discipleship of the Mind (learning and thoughtful Biblical reflection in every area of life) and Whole Life Stewardship (proclaiming Jesus as Lord over all creation and culture and integrating faith, life and vocation in service to Him).
