This is the official website for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in Fullerton.
We long to see thriving communities of faith planted in every corner or every campus: communities that believe that to be Christian isn't to give up who we are but rather to step into the fullness of who God has made us to be. We hope to see every gender, ethnicity, major, fraternity, sorority, denomination, and interest group on campus become transformed by the unrelenting love of Jesus Christ. |
So, what can I expect?We love hanging out on campus (when we're not enduring COVID-19), attending crazy conferences, and meeting new people. We also love serving our community and expanding the Kingdom of God by spreading the love He has shown us to others around campus and in our city. No matter where you are at in your spiritual journey, we want you to know that you are welcome here.

Noël Spangrud, Ministry Team LeaderOriginally from the Inland Empire, Noël attended Riverside City College before transferring to Cal State Fullerton where she graduated with a B.A. in Music. She spent 1 year serving as a volunteer at CSUF before moving to Costa Mesa to plant the ministry full time at Orange Coast College. After 3 years serving OCC, she now serves as the Ministry Team Leader in North Orange County and helps coach & care for the chapters as CSU Fullerton & Fullerton College.
When she isn't on campus, you can find Noël at aesthetically pleasing coffee or boba shops, enjoying good eats, spending time with family, and posting her latest layout from her bullet journal on her art Instagram, @ordinarilycreative. She recently moved back to the Fullerton area, is excited to find a new church home in the area, and is looking forward to meeting you! |

Rachel Salazar, Campus MinisterUpon graduating from UC Irvine in 2018 with a B.A. in Education Sciences, she spent 2 years as a campus ministry intern with InterVarsity in Fullerton and made the decision to come on staff full time at CSU Fullerton. She joined InterVarsity her freshman year, lead Bible studies for her friends shortly after, and lead many other students in their walks with Jesus.
When Rachel's not busy ministering to students and friends, you can often find her playing basketball, laughing (very contagiously) at some strange joke, or out with friends eating amazing food. She's loved being a part of Antioch Church in Fullerton and is looking forward to being in person again with her small group. |

Christopher Roque, Campus Minister, Graduates and Faculty
A SoCal native, Chris attended CSUF where he graduated with his B.S. in cellular and developmental biology. He is passionate about the dynamics of Christian formation, so after college he completed his MDiv at Azusa Pacific Seminary.
For the last 6 years, he has served as a teaching pastor at a local church, and is now on staff with InterVarsity as a minister to graduate students and faculty here at CSUF as well as USC’s Health Sciences Campus. Chris enjoys being a husband (and dog dad), reading, good coffee, deep conversations, and getting outdoors. You can often find him out riding on the Fullerton Loop! |

InterVarsity traces its roots to a movement of British university students in the 1870s. The first InterVarsity chapter in the United States began in 1938 at the University of Michigan. Since InterVarsity was incorporated in 1941, thousands of students have become thoughtful representatives of God's Kingdom and have moved into leadership roles in churches, organizations, corporations & agencies around the world.
