Frequently Asked Questions

No, we are not a church. We are a parachurch ministry that works in partnership with local churches. Our activities are designed to complement, not replace, active participation in a church body. We strongly encourage all our students to be committed members of a local church.
“InterVarsity” refers to our focus on working with students from all different universities (“inter-varsity”). We are the Lebanese national movement of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES), a global network of student ministries active in over 160 countries.
Not at all. We welcome students from all backgrounds, whether you are a committed Christian, a curious seeker, or someone with doubts and questions. Our groups are safe places to explore the Bible and learn about the person of Jesus, no matter where you are on your spiritual journey.
LIVF is an interdenominational ministry. We are not tied to any single Christian denomination. Our staff and students come from a variety of church backgrounds, and we unite around the core beliefs of the evengilical Christian faith as expressed in our Profession of Faith.
LIVF is a registered non-profit organization that operates independently. We are gratefully supported by the generous, unconditional donations of individuals, churches, and partner organizations, both in Lebanon and internationally, who believe in our mission to reach and disciple university students.
