Chapel
Chapel is key to the spiritual formation of those who are a part of the Indiana Wesleyan University community. It is a forum for worship, spiritual encouragement, community development, information sharing and cultural enrichment. The primary essence of chapel is spiritual and all chapels should have strong elements of praise and worship included. The inclusion of information sharing and academic connections to our lives are both appropriate and desirable. Chapels are formed and completed within the context of a Christian environment where we seek to love God with all our hearts, soul, and mind.
The aim is to help the IWU community
- To continually go deeper in their knowledge and love of God (worship and the expounding of God’s Word)
- To enjoy encouraging fellowship with the “body of Christ” (fostering community spirit)
- To challenge believers to reach out into the world for the glory of Christ (responding to the Great Commission)
Spiritual formation in the Wesleyan-Armenian tradition is central to the University’s mission to change the world by developing students in character, scholarship and leadership. With an intentional focus on the development of the whole person and a specific emphasis on becoming a disciple of Christ, university life provides opportunity to develop spiritual disciplines including prayer, Bible study, worship, etc. Such are integrated into every aspect of campus life.
