Spiritual Care
Designed for
Online Learners

At the core of the IWU experience is the opportunity you will have to grow spiritually and engage in a Christian community. That’s why we offer  Spiritcare, a ministry designed especially for online students in IWU’s online programs.

Whether you’re navigating a challenging season, seeking encouragement, or simply looking to stay rooted in your faith, Spiritcare is here to walk with you. Spiritcare seeks to facilitate spiritual guidance during this pivotal life experience, to create openness to Scripture and the message of Jesus Christ.

Our mission is to provide Christ-centered guidance and keep you connected to the heart of IWU—no matter where you are.

How Spiritcare Supports You

Christ-Centered Support

We’re committed to walking with you through life’s challenges and joys by offering resources, personal outreach, and prayer. Our goal is to keep you rooted in Christ through digital connections, spiritual resources, and support from local churches when needed. You are not alone—we’re here to help you experience hope, healing, and transformation.

Weekly Devotionals

Start your week with encouragement and truth from God’s Word with our Monday Morning Moment. Each Monday, online students receive a devotional written by IWU National & Global faculty and staff. These brief, thoughtful messages help center your heart on Christ and invite reflection as we start a new week.

Email Ministry

Spiritcare sends out online greetings several times a year, including Easter and Christmas to all students. Look for them in your IWU email.

Chaplaincy Ministry

Referral to local Christian crisis counselors. Prayer and follow-up. Confidential counseling with Spiritcare chaplains.
