Vision Statement

Mount Vernon Nazarene University: To Change the World with the Love of Christ.

The University’s aspiration is that academic and student life activities be integrated in a Wesleyan evangelical tradition to facilitate character, value, and cultural development to improve the quality of life for all through the love of Jesus Christ. The University seeks to enable students to model the attitude expressed in its motto "To seek to learn is to seek to serve." As students experience the educational process, the University strives to enable students to function as competent Christians, citizens, and professionals.
