Fall 2014 Events
SUMMIT 2014: Following the Sent One
This annual retreat is a great opportunity for returning IV members and members of our Leadership Team to reconnect and prayerfully prepare for the upcoming IVME year. This year, our theme was "Following the Sent One" where we spent time studying Scripture, experienced God’s presence through prayer and worship, and were equipped to be sent back to campus with the Gospel message.

Fall Conference 2014
October 3-5, Toah Nipi Retreat Center
“Normally when someone dies, their impact on the world immediately begins to recede. But Jesus inverted this normal human trajectory. After two thousand years, he has more followers in more places than ever.” -John Ortberg
Christians claim that Jesus changed the world for the better. He wants to change our lives for the better, and He wants us to join His world changing. Come and find out for yourself.
Why: take a break from the craziness of fall semester, see beautiful trees, drink apple cider, explore more about a man that walked the earth and changed the world, spend time with friends!
