Life, Community and Faith
MNU is a community of Christian faith and learning. Here you’ll grow in relationship with others and with God. Whether you live on campus or commute, you’ll find a close campus community where there’s always something fun going on.
Spiritual Life
At MNU our faith is lived out within our campus community. Weekly chapel services each Tuesday are the heart of our campus, with students, faculty and staff worshipping together. In addition, students can participate in a number of small group studies during each semester.
All undergrad students are required to participate in chapel and other spiritual life activities each semester to earn spiritual formation credits. Spiritual formation is an intentional part of our community—we strive to make MNU a place where students encounter God and grow in the Christian faith. Spiritual formation shapes us individually and as a campus as we grow closer to Jesus together.
Community Involvement
Students at MNU grow their faith through a variety of community service opportunities. Some of our current opportunities for ministry include:
- Outreach to the elderly
- Inner city youth mentoring
- Local elementary school partnerships
- Human trafficking advocacy
- Homeless outreach
- Leading worship at summer camps
Each semester you will have a chance to get involved in a growing number of ministries and outreach opportunities.
