For example, each January, students majoring in religion spend two weeks in Washington, D.C. visiting Christian missions and churches dedicated to delivering the gospel to the homeless and underprivileged in the inner city. Pastoral ministry students, as well as those in the professionally oriented Christian education programs, complete intensive practicum assignments with churches and other Christian organizations. Students in youth ministry attend the National Youth Workers Convention where they benefit from informative sessions, as well as valuable personal contacts. You'll also benefit from missions courses taught by our missionary in residence, a rotating faculty member who lives on campus during furloughs. Koinonia, a fellowship for MVNC ministry students, is another benefit.
Members organize and conduct the spring revival, a major campus even held each year.
There are opportunities for study abroad in Israel, Egypt and Greece which focus on the history and culture of the Holy Land. This course is normally conducted in Israel and occasionally includes trips to Egypt and Greece. Additional off-campus opportunities include summer work at Christian youth camps and work with missions organizations in the community, across the nation and around the world. Students also participate in college ministry teams who present the gospel through drama and song at churches and other gatherings throughout the year.
