Missouri Valley College Values-
God
Missouri Valley College’s rich history began with leaders of the Presbyterian Church who founded the college in 1889 on principles of faith. Today, faith remains a cornerstone of MVC’s values-based education. The Stewart Chapel shines as a beacon for MVC’s commitment to fostering students’ spiritual growth. Nondenominational services are held weekly in the chapel, but so are many other moments for fellowship. The Chaplain and the Student Life Office offer nondenominational services, and are happy to assist with coordination of requests for Catholic Mass, Jewish Shabbat, and other faith-based services. In addition, the Chaplain is beginning discussions on the possibility of hosting Missouri Valley’s first interfaith dinner on campus. With MVC family members representing all 50 states, 56 countries and an array of faiths and backgrounds, the college is dedicated to supporting the religious life of all students.
Sunday Scripture
Sunday Scriptures are a great way to stop, re-center, and re-group each week as life gets busier and busier. Scripture brings hope, perspective, and can challenge us as well. This is also a way to encourage you as life gets hard and to stay strong in your faith. This is just another way to encourage the MOVAL community wherever you go and reflects our values of God, Family and Country.

“Dr. Parisi came and talked to the men’s soccer team yesterday. He put such an emphasis on faith, God, and family. These ingredients, he said, help make us better human beings, and athletes. We have to have faith in our teammates and our classmates, they are family. He stressed to us that building our faith would make us better husbands, fathers, friends, and teammates. He also talked about continuing to improve and striving to be one degree better each and every day. He was such an inspiration to me. He reminded me of my father.”
