May 12-15, 2025
God is always with us. So where can we find him? We can encounter God in nature, in our communities, in our worship, in our work and play, and in the unique ways that he's created us. God is with us as we wrestle with the hard questions of life. When we're looking for wisdom, he is there. When we share our stories and learn from one another, he is there. God loves to show up as we study the Bible together -- surprising us again and again with how old stories connect with our lives today. And in the process, he is preparing us to trust him with our futures. To trust that God will be with us there too.
InterVarsity's Summer Conference is where we remember -- or learn for the first time -- that God is with us.

Good News [17 remaining]
Whether you are just exploring Christianity, you are a new believer, or you have been following Jesus for a while, we have Good News for you! The Good News Track is an immersion experience in how the Gospel of Jesus impacts every area of our identity and lives – past, present, and future.
Justice and the Image of God [11 remaining]
What does it mean to be created in the Image of God? And what does that have to do with Justice? If justice is "the faithful exercise of power in community," what does this mean for us today on our campuses and in our world? And how does God define justice? This track will explore what Biblical justice is and how that justice is what we all have been longing for all of our lives.
Small Group Leader
Small group leaders track is for small group leaders, discipleship group leaders, or anyone leading a group that meets together regularly for spiritual development. The track will explore how to root our leadership in Christ in order to cultivate communities of belonging that bless the campus.
Embodied Faith [2 remaining]
Author Peter Formes said, "Stories create community, enable us to see through the eyes of other people, and open us to the claims of others." We believe that the key to sharing Jesus with others is through sharing your story. In the Embodied Faith track, you will learn how to: >Identify the story of Jesus in all good stories >Hone your understanding of what is good in your own story and where that goodness may be missing in the lives of others >Effectively communicate your story with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15) >Grow your skills and confidence with practical application and fun challengesSign up for this track if you follow Jesus and want to thoughtfully help your friends and family to follow Him too.
