in grace We encourage students to build relationships within our Christian community. Waynesburg University helps students develop academically and professionally on the foundation of faith. Faith is an integral part of the University’s mission, and students have the opportunity to discuss theory and application of faith in their professions.

Growth in Christian faith is a significant part of the Waynesburg University mission, and students are offered opportunities to grow through Chapel on Tuesday, Upper Room on Sunday evening, discussions in classes, Bible study groups, mission trips and other learning experiences.


and through service. Our students are thinkers and doers. Six out of seven days a week, you’ll find them serving in the local community, and many use their spring and winter breaks to do extraordinary things for others. From providing love and hope to orphans in Guatemala and healthcare to Haitian refugees in the Bahamas, our students grow through serving others. You can too.
