  • Bowman House is a place where students are called to a higher level of Christian maturity with opportunities for both individual and community growth.

  • Despite some tweaks and minor changes, the Bowman House programs and culture have been consistent since 1996. Bowman House instills a sense of tradition in the residents; a sense that they are part of something bigger than themselves. Composite pictures on the wall and many other elements combine to remind us of the men who have gone before us (some of whom are IWU faculty and staff). The men of Bowman House are brothers living, maturing, and growing together, past and future, just as the Church is a family following Christ together.

    Bowman House is smaller than most other halls on campus. However it is also known for being one of the best places to find a tight knit, deep community. These two points are linked. Students get to know each other quickly and support and challenge each other. We grow together as we do life alongside each other.

We have been married for two years now and we are expecting our first baby in December. I earned my BA from IWU in Philosophy and Theology.

  • Bowman House was founded in 1996 through an intentional transition from a female hall (“Bowman Hall”) to a specifically freshmen male “House”. It was designed to pattern the positive aspects of fraternity living with intentional Christian mentoring of first-year guys.

  • At the Boys and Girls Club, Bowman House residents make a positive impact in the lives of children by mentoring, tutoring, playing with the kids, and talking to them. They’ve been able to influence many of these kids’ lives simply by being there.
