Spiritual Life

Grow in grace and discover opportunities for spiritual formation from a whole person perspective.

Spiritual Life at MVNU

At MVNU, faith is vital to our identity. So we foster an environment that encourages growth in grace and to provide opportunities that address spiritual formation from a holistic perspective.

You’ll have the opportunity to practice a variety of spiritual disciplines throughout your time at MVNU, recognizing that each person encounters God in different ways. As a part of our corporate commitment to cultivate Christlikeness, we require every student to participate in MVNU’s Spiritual Formation Program. You’ll earn Spiritual Formation Credits through a variety of disciplines that include corporate worship (Chapel) and small groups.

Spiritual Formation Requirements

All students are required to earn 24 spiritual formation credits, and first time in college students are required to earn an additional 10 credits through Belong Group participation.

Commuter students are required to earn 18 spiritual formation credits. To be considered for a reduced requirement, commuters must submit a petition for reduced credits to spirituallife@mvnu.5by5dev.site

You receive spiritual formation credit by scanning a QR code at the end of service, event or small group gathering in the iAttended app on your smart phone. The app will contain a list of all spiritual formation opportunities as well as a current record of all credits received.
