The Rev. Allison VanderLinden

Are you a grad student looking for some Christian fellowship?  Perhaps a grad student questioning God and faith issues?    InterVarsity Christian Fellowship has begun a fellowship of grad students on the USM campus. I, Allison VanderLinden, facilitate the ministry. I'm on campus every Thursday for prayer in the Evangelical Christian tradition  at 9 AM in Luther Bonney Hall (for room location: dvander@usm.maine.edu); and from 10 AM to 7 PM, with office time at Religious and Spiritual Life, 23 Brighton Avenue, Portland (the Deering Farmhouse) as well as out and about on campus.  I'd be pleased to meet with you at your convenience!

I grew up in Darien, CT,  and attended Wheaton College in Norton, MA and Princeton Theological Seminary for my MDiv. Degree. After several years of pastoring churches, I have changed career paths.  Now I am hoping to gather USM grad students of diverse disciplines for Christian fellowship and learning.  IVCF encourages students from multi-ethnic backgrounds to get to know God through Jesus Christ and encourage each other on his/her own spiritual journey. We are committed to spiritual formation and mutual accountability within each graduate discipline.  We seek opportunities to fellowship and study the Bible together.  We are a welcoming place for Christians and seekers alike.
