  • WE BELIEVE............

  • the Bible to be the only inspired, infalliable, authoritative Word of God.

    there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son & Holy Spirit.

    in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His victorious & atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return to power & glory.

    that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

    in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live godly life.

    in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

    in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

    parents are responsible for the education of their children.  The function of the Christian school is to assist Christian families in this responsibility by helping each pupil to become born again Christians and build Christian character and a Christian perspective.

  • STUDENT SANCTIFICATION

    The staff at MVCS is commited to developing the sanctification of our students through daily reinforcement of God's Truth:

    DISCOVER THEIR PURPOSE 

    Teaching the TRUTH about how God created the world and everthing in the world - and that means EVERY CHILD!  Everything we do at MVCS is designed for each child to understand that they are uniquely created, called, and LOVED by God. (Jeremiah 1:5)

    DEVELOP THEIR PASSION 

    Every day, we reinforce and sharpen each child's unique gift (Romans 12).  We teach our students to recognize the passions God has placed in them (Psalm 37:4).  We mentor our students on expressing those passions in a healthy manner (Galatians 5).

    MAKE A DIFFERENCE

    Our students will graduate from MVCS with an unshakeable confidence in the calling God has placed upon their lives (Matthew 28).  They will be able to apply their God-given gifts to serve the needs of the world.
