"My MVNU athlete experience has been nothing short of amazing! I have been able to compete on the national level every year, competing against the best athletes in the country. Along with that I have been a part of the most amazing team! I can’t express the impact that this team, my coach, and all of the MVNU Athletics Department has had on my life."

You are able to become a part of a loving community where you form strong relationships with friends, classmates, and professors. You are also pushed in your walk with God and urged to remain faithful, which is such an amazing and unique feature of this school."
