Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU) is a private Christian liberal arts college in Marion, Indiana that is affiliated with the Wesleyan Church.. It is known for its mission to develop people who can integrate their faith with leadership skills in their vocational pursuits. The university has three colleges: College of Arts & Sciences, College of Adult & Professional Studies, and College of Graduate Studies. The University's distance programs encompass worldwide online and facility-based degree plans in 48 cities within Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. Distance learners exceeded 8,000 students in 2005, an increase of 20% since 2004; the campus in Marion is also growing. The University is currently in the process of building an addition to the Student Center, an indoor track facility, and a new communications building.

Among the many popular speakers who have been hosted at Indiana Wesleyan University, such mega-stars as Oliver North, Kirk Cameron, and The Newsboys have been featured to provide entertainment to the student population. Upcoming events include the exciting new faith conference, the Exodus Freedom Conference, which hopes to convert faithful believers tormented with attraction to the same sex back to righteousness.

IWU has created a "Society of World Changers" into which it inducts people who are notable for demonstrating their Christian faith through the quality of their work in a secular world. Currenty inductees as members of the Society are the late TV producer and sports executive Bob Briner (2003, posthumous), best selling author Frank Peretti (2004), and Focus on the Family founder and chairman Dr. James Dobson (2005).
