living...with purpose.Knowledge and skills. Gifts and abilities. Career and calling.

They’re yours to develop. What will you do with them?

You might come to mNu for academics. For sports. For faith. But you’ll find purpose in relationship to others. On campus. in the community. For good, for life.

How will you live?

“How many places can you go stargazing in a pitch-black field, or drive 20 minutes in the other direction and be looking over a big- city skyline? MNU is also the perfect spot to connect with close-by jobs, churches, and internships.” josh dAMpf→→|→→Youth→&→Family→Ministry→|→Ferguson,→Missouri

Weekly chapel is the connecting point for campus life. You can also take part in small groups. Bible studies. mission trips. Worship teams. And youth activities.

Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish spiritual life from everyday life. Or spiritual life from service.

And that’s just the point.

it’s all in good fun. There’s always something happening at mNu, always someone to share it with.

Nothing to do at mNu? Hardly!

A good sport

We participate in the Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC) at the NAiA division i level.

True to our mission, athletics encompass the physical, spiritual, and intellectual lives of students.

in the same way, coaches are mentors and models of Christian conduct.

On courts and fields and in life.

“You’re learning in a completely different way. You’re getting your hands dirty. You’re interacting with people more than just learning from a textbook. You’re seeing people’s views, ideas, and passions firsthand.”jeff sUos→→|→→Intercultural→Studies→→|→→Crystal,→Minnesota

Talk about real-life learning. Groups of mNu students are discovering what it means to be a neighbor through the YouthFront School of Formation in Kansas City. Students live and study in an inner-city house for a semester, where they take 15 hours of curriculum and perform community service work.

fAith oN the street

it’s easy to talk about the homeless. But walk a mile in their shoes?

An mNu graduate did just that— and more—by living on the streets of dayton, Ohio, for 30 days to raise awareness for the plight of the homeless.

the big ideA

When 1,000 mNu students, faculty, and staff each donated $25 per semester for a year, the results were astounding.

The student-led Passion to Serve project raised more than $50,000 to build a medical clinic in rural Guatemala. mNu partnered with Heart to Heart international, rotary international, and engineers Without Borders.
