University Ministries

We exist to help you in your spiritual journey. A healthy spiritual life is an important part of a happy and successful college experience, and growing spiritually is as vital as growing physically, socially and intellectually as you encounter the challenges of college life.

University minister

One guide along the path of your spiritual journey is our University Minister, Rev. Maddi Baugous. Maddi is a United Methodist pastor who serves all members of the Wesleyan community regardless of their religious affiliation. She is available for personal counseling, religious and vocational counseling, and spiritual guidance.

Campus worship service

Join the Wesleyan community on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. for our campus wide worship service. Worship is intimate and informal and held in the chapel on the first floor of Old Main. You are welcome to join a community of spiritual seekers looking for a deeper connection with God.

Diversified religious life programs

The University intends to provide an active, diversified religious life program designed to meet the total range of students’ spiritual development needs. Activities and organizations, including the Wesleyan Student Fellowship and the NWU Catholics (FOCUS) provide students with opportunities for fellowship, community service and celebration. Spiritual resource persons are also available to students.

Internships and service learning opportunities

Internship and service-learning opportunities are available in the University Minister’s office and in local, national and international religious communities. For more information about religious life activities and/or organizations, contact University Ministries in Old Main 105.
