YOUR FAITH
Mount Pleasant and Southeast Iowa are extremely welcoming of our students from many religious backgrounds, both Christian and non-Christian. The First United Methodist Church in Mount Pleasant is an active partner with the University and assists with spiritual life offerings. Students from all faith backgrounds are members of numerous congregations both in Mount Pleasant and the surrounding communities.
