The World is Waiting

  • Wesleyan Students

Wesleyan. It's not just our middle name. It's who we are.

Unite the pair so long disjoined,
Knowledge and vital piety:
Learning and holiness combined,
And truth and love, let all men see…

When Charles Wesley penned these words almost 300 years ago, he probably wasn’t thinking of the Wesleyan denomination or Indiana Wesleyan University since neither existed at the time. However, as a Wesleyan student, this is both your legacy and calling. To participate in a university education that brings together (unites) both academic excellence (knowledge) and a call to live out a holy life (vital piety) is to tap into the heart of what it means to be a Wesleyan student.

Dr. Kulaga headshot

As you live and learn at Indiana Wesleyan University, you will be strongly encouraged in your walk with Christ to have your “learning and living combined.” Toward what end – a job? Well, certainly. But more importantly, so that all the world can see and be brought into a relationship with Jesus Christ. This is at the heart of what it means to be a Wesleyan student attending a Wesleyan university.

Welcome to Indiana Wesleyan University!

"I went to IWU for my undergrad and my graduate studies, so I would say I am a pretty big fan! I chose IWU because when I walked on campus it felt like home. Now that I can look back at my four years here, I know that I would not be the person I am today without the opportunities IWU provides or the people that live and work on this campus! I have been changed by this place and my relationship with God has never been stronger than it is after my time at IWU. I am incredibly grateful and have been deeply blessed by Indiana Wesleyan University. "
