Kansas Wesleyan University is committed to the faithful task of being a Christian university by elevating and celebrating what we know as religious life or faith. KWU and the Dean of the Chapel provide weekly chapel service, fellowship, small groups, service opportunities, personal growth counseling, prayer support, and the opportunities for spiritual growth. As KWU, we celebrate the freedom and dignity of each person as a child of God. KWU's Campus Ministry mission is to witness to presence Jesus Christ in the world, and to follow his teachings through acts of compassion, justice, worship and devotion under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

The Dean of the Chapel, Dr. John Blackwell, oversees all of campus ministry. His office is located in 310 Pioneer Hall. Dr. Blackwell’s email address is jblackwell@kwu.edu, and his telephone extension is 1310.

KWU actively seeks to cultivate both student participation and leadership. Our ministries are specifically designed to meet student’s needs for spiritual growth. Programs, activities and worship experiences are open to all students, faculty and staff. ALL ARE WELCOME!

The Dean of the Chapel is also a member of KWU’s Religion and Philosophy Department and works closely with this department. Click here for information about KWU's Religion and Philosophy Department www.kwu.edu/religion/

THEME OF THE SEMESTER – Human Dignity

Each semester, the Dean of the Chapel will announce a "Theme of the Semester." He will lift-up the theme in chapel services, and he will challenge the KWU community to incorporate this theme into every aspect of campus life. Dr. John Blackwell has announced that the theme for Fall 2005 is "Human Dignity." This theme celebrates the inherent worth of each and every member of the KWU campus, as well as all people in God’s creation.

CHAPEL – The Calling

KWU’s student chapel service is called The Calling. This is a student – centered service that takes place each Tuesday evening. The time is 7 p.m., and the place is University United Methodist Church (across the street from KWU). The Calling consists of great music, inspiring preaching, sharing joys and concerns, and a time for prayer.

THEOPHILES

It means “lovers of God.” It also means that God is love. And for KWU, Theophiles is the name of our student fellowship group that meets each Tuesday evening, immediately following The Calling. The Dean of the Chapel leads the gathering, a time for fellowship, reflection, and Christian support.
