Good News for the University
Jesus Christ is good news for the university and its scholars
That’s why we are cultivating a new normal where Christians at university reconnect the gospel and our academic work, serving both:
From CHRIST to our studies:
in our studies we pursue creation’s flourishing, working excellently and serving the good of the university under Christ’s Lordship and in the light of Scripture; and
From our studies to CHRIST:
as we trace the way our field of study points to God’s glory, we praise him and seek to bring others with us, turning our expertise toward persuasive gospel outreach through apologetics and evangelism.

Serving one another across the European region sharing our resources
Good News for the University
The initiative comprises three main components working together:
Foundations
From 37 nations we are united in the gospel of Christ, on whom we build as our chief cornerstone. The gospel of reconciliation counteracts the fragmentation of our faculties and the isolation of our career stages. Across all these divisions we are drawn together to serve one another when we lift up Christ and allow the gospel to establish our vision.
Programmes
Good News for the University serves the European national movements of IFES both by sharing news of inspiring ministry models across the region, and by offering direct participation in programmes hosted at a regional level on behalf of busy national movements.
