The International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) is a worldwide association of about 160 evangelical Christian student movements worldwide, encouraging evangelism among students. The goal of the organisation is to establish local autonomous student movements in every country where there is tertiary education. The member movements cooperate to pioneer new work and the strengthen existing groups.

In Ireland more than 1500 students meet in local groups from Cork to Coleraine and Galway to Dublin. Alongside us, as students, in the IFES Ireland family there are volunteers who help, graduates who give, supporters who pray, and a team of staff workers that provide encouragement, support, advice and direction. We, at Jordanstown CU, have our very own staff worker - Cath Butler. She is helping us to make the very most of our opportunities in Jordanstown.
