Indiana Wesleyan University, as an evangelical Wesleyan Christian university, is a community joined together to further academic
achievement, personal development and spiritual growth. Together the community seeks to honor Christ by integrating faith,
learning, and living while its members’ hearts and lives mature in relationship to Jesus Christ and each other. With this purpose,
please respond to the following questions regarding joining this community:
1. Are you committed to Christ as your personal Savior?
YES NO
If no, will you show respect for our Christian heritage and perspective?
YES NO
Faith in God’s Word should lead to behavior displaying His authority in our lives. Scripture teaches that certain attributes such
as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are to be manifested by members
of the Christian community. By contrast, Scripture condemns such attitudes as greed, lust, needless anger, an unforgiving
spirit, discrimination, and prejudice.
2. Will you seek these positive attributes and avoid the negative attitudes in your life while at
YES NO
Indiana Wesleyan University?
Furthermore, certain behaviors are expressly prohibited by Scripture. These include dishonesty in all forms
(lying, stealing,
cheating), impurity in speech (gossip, slander, profanity, vulgarity), sexual impurity (premarital sex, adultery, homosexual
behavior) and substance abuse.
3. Do you agree to avoid these behaviors while attending Indiana Wesleyan University? YES NO
Corporate worship aids in community building and support of the body of Christ. We gather as a community at special times for
nurture and admonition in the things of God. These activities include chapel, fall and spring summit and other university-related
events. Chapel attendance is required for all resident students, as well as full-time commuting students under 23 years of
age with classes before and after chapel.
4. Are you committed to attending a university that has required chapel and has placed classroom
YES NO
prayer and other spiritual development opportunities as important priorities?
Scripture teaches that all our actions (work, study, play) should be performed to the glory of God. We endeavor, therefore, to be
selective in choices of entertainment and recreation, promoting those which strengthen the body of Christ and avoiding those
which would diminish sensitivity to Christian responsibility.
5. Will you avoid unwholesome materials and entertainment in your life while attending IWU?
YES NO
(i.e. pornography, gambling, etc.)?
Signing below indicates that I have answered the above questions truthfully and understand fully the expectations placed upon
me as a student at Indiana Wesleyan University.
