Our Vision

The Institute for Discipleship is dedicated to providing Christian resources and education that build disciples and strengthen ministries.

Guiding Principles

• The primary work of the Institute is to assist disciples of Jesus in gaining a deeper understanding of God, themselves, and their relationship with God.
• The primary strategy of the Institute is to make accessible learning opportunities known for quality content, community and good leadership.
• The primary organizational structure of the Institute is to work within Southwestern College in a way that is mutually beneficial.
• The primary focus of the Institute is twofold: one involving direct contact with the campus in Winfield, and the other global in nature with programming online.
• The primary role of the Institute is to be the connection point for Southwestern College to the church at large.

These guiding principles are a reflection of the values held by Richard and Julie Wilke, for whom the Institute is named.
