Framework for Christian Education at MVNU

"Intentionally Christian." It’s the core of who we are and the framework for all we do at Mount Vernon Nazarene University. We believe we have each been created by a God of love for a unique purpose. Because of that, our mission is to help you cultivate a love of God and love of others through education and excellence. 

But it’s more than just praying before class.  It’s about incorporating faith and learning in all activities. As you grow in maturity, this deepening love becomes evident in your scholarship, character, and service.
