Each Seat — Chapel Renovation Campaign

Residential Life at MVNU

For many students, living on campus is the heart of the MVNU experience — a place where faith deepens, friendships flourish, and everyday moments become cherished memories.

Life At MVNU

Life at MVNU

Residential Life

Sharing life together — learning, growing, serving, and celebrating — is how close friendships are forged and lifelong memories take root.

At MVNU, our campus isn’t just a place to live... it’s a vibrant, Christ-centered community where students are intentionally shaped to grow socially, academically, and spiritually.

Within our residence halls, dedicated resident directors and resident assistants live alongside students, offering guidance, encouragement, and care rooted in our shared faith.

We’re deeply committed to the transformative impact of campus living. That’s why we maintain a residential campus policy requiring students 22 years or younger to live on campus, unless commuting. We believe this immersive community plays a vital role in equipping students to discover their callings and deepen their walk with Christ — an experience we want for every MVNU student.
