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. Our mission is to provide Christ-centered guidance and keep you connected to the heart of IWU—no matter where you are.
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.
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.
“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.”
Want to stay connected to the heart of campus life? You can watch chapel services from our residential campus online—anytime, from anywhere. These worship gatherings offer powerful messages that reflect our Christ-centered mission and spiritual community.
“Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.”
We offer a listening ear and guidance rooted in Scripture. Whether you're facing a decision, a personal challenge, or a moment of doubt, we’re here to help you seek God’s perspective. For more complex needs, we can connect you with a licensed counselor in your area or via video.
Reach OutNo burden is too small or too great for prayer. Whatever you're facing, we believe in the power of prayer. If you’d like us to pray for you, simply reach out via email or send us a direct message on social media. A Spiritcare chaplain will be honored to lift you up in prayer and, if you'd like, offer encouragement or follow-up support.
Make Prayer Request“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
