Life at MVNU
From start to finish, God’s intention for humankind is flourishing. As people live in loving cooperation with God, our lives unfurl into a flourishing tree that nourishes the world. It is our desire this year in chapel to spark your imagination toward flourishing. God’s way is the best way and leads to our good. Below, you will find helpful information including:

“MVNU has helped strengthen my convictions and character as well as make me more aware of my weaknesses. It has increased my confidence in any situation because I see myself as a child of God and this place has fostered my development into the man I was made to be.”
Matias Malkamaki, ‘21
“My professors, coaches, friends, teammates, and other amazing mentors have guided and showed me Christ in a new way. They have all strengthened my faith and played a big part in who I am today.”
Ashley Weber, ‘21
