Athletics
The Indiana Wesleyan University Athletic Department is dedicated to four core values. These four core values are Spiritual Growth, Academic Achievement, Leadership Development and Athletic Excellence. We believe that all of these Core Values can be achieved within our department without the need to compromise any of them.
We are able to achieve this lofty statement through the work of our outstanding group of dedicated coaches. Each coach on our staff is dedicated to Jesus Christ and is committed to coaching as a ministry. The overall development of our student-athletes is priority number one for all of our coaches. As you can see by our Mission Statement below, our athletic ministry begins with the student-athletes and then progresses outward to our campus community, local community and throughout the world.
