EVENTS
Retreats, conferences, and moments that bring us together.
Beyond our weekly gatherings IVBCF gathers for conferences, fundraisers, retreats, and mission opportunities that help us grow in faith and community throughout the year.
FALL CON
During Fall Quarter, IVBCF and other InterVarsity chapters from the L.A. area visit Catalina Island for a weekend opportunity to establish and deepen personal relationships with God and each other. It’s a time for students to step onto the path of seeking God through worship and spiritual introspection.
Fall Quarter Retreat
JANUARY JUMPSTART
During Winter Quarter, IVBCF hosts January Jumpstart! For a whole weekend, we dive into the Bible as a fellowship with the inductive study method to get a better understanding of what God wants to tell us through these passages so that we may allow His word to transform us. At January Jumpstart, the studies hosted are Mark Study, Luke Study, Genesis Study, and Senior Seminar.

HUNGER GAMES
Summer Con Fundraising
Every year, IVBCF puts on our version of the Hunger Games to raise money for Summer Con scholarships.
Our version of the Hunger Games runs around the UCLA campus and is streamed online— you can get involved as a Tribute or a Game Maker, or just watch the Games!
SUMMER CON
As soon as school ends, IVBCF and our other LA chapters are back for a week of growing in our faith and spending time in community!
Our studies for this conference are Mark 1, Mark 2, Mark 1 Repeaters, Prayer Seminar, and Senior Seminar.
Weeklong Spiritual Retreat
SUMMER MISSIONS
At IVBCF, we’ve got a wide range of missions opportunities for anyone who is interested in participating!
Through Summer Missions, students have the opportunity to step outside UCLA and experience what God is doing in communities around the world.
Past trips have taken students to Kenya, Ghana, Cambodia, and Turkey, as well as to cities across the U.S., including Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and locations in Michigan.
