Welcome to the Association for the Integration of the Whole Person (AIWP) web site! You will find information here about our community. It is made up of over a thousand ordained members in service, hundreds of local congregations and our own AIWP-sponsored university: The University for Integrative Learning. AIWP was founded over 30 years ago. We are proud of our legacy of being ahead of our time; we advance the ideal of life-long learning; we consider that the potential of human development is sacred.

We have recently updated the entire site to present a better sense of what we have to offer.  AIWP was established so that people can join together in affirming their right to use their skills and knowledge for serving others. Our Ministers, dedicated to the AIWP Credo and Mission Statement, are a community of pioneers whose goal of integrating the whole person is in itself a religious commitment. We are pledged to the creation of a spiritual community and university free from dictates of church or educational orthodoxy.

Please take special note of our NEWSLETTER and the area entitled "FEATURED MINISTRY." For your convenience we have listed descriptions of the most popular pages of this website first, along with many of our other informative sections:

• The CONGREGATION DIRECTORY contains a list of many of our Ministers and their local congregations, along with links to their web sites. Each month we will showcase one of our many congregations so that visitors can discover more about who we are as a community.

• The Quarterly Newsletter (soon to become a monthly publication!) is full of special articles, some of them inspired by the questions we receive from our visitors.

• The UNIVERSITY FOR INTEGRATIVE LEARNING (UIL), is a unique and exciting educational opportunity. A 21st century "university without walls", this learner-centered program offers BA, MA and Ph.D degrees.

• Our ORDINATION SECTION extends a warm welcome to people who believe in a life of service and who find their own ideals reflected in our Credo & Mission Statement.  Those interested in joining our community will find all the details here.

• The ever-changing AIWP NEWS! page will keep you up to date about our public conference calls, workshops, seminars, tele-classes, special events, regional conclaves, and media programs.

• As part of our commitment to life-long learning, we are delighted to offer a library of FREE DOWNLOADS, which have been written either by members of our community or have been submitted by them as highly recommended.
