Chapel

IAU is an interdenominational Christian university and yet embraces students of all faiths or no faith. The hope is to introduce Christian life and principles to those seeking a religious identity. To that end, IAU offers spiritual guidance and support to our students, staff, and faculty. Because we are a multi-campus institution, our Chaplain is available via email and by Zoom appointment for prayer and religious advice.

Welcome!

The Chaplain serves as a resource for educational information about Christianity and religion in general. You can send your prayer requests, questions, and inquiries via email. Various opportunities for faith enrichment including Bible Study are offered. Each semester webinars are presented on the Foundations of Christian Spirituality. Recordings of past presentations are available here:
