Activities - Student Leadership

MVCS students are encouraged to apply their knowledge and practice their leadership potential by serving their school, family, community, and church through many different clubs.

Student leadership development is the process of involving students in meaningful ways both in and beyond the classroom. It provides opportunities for students to demonstrate their talents, skills, and interests while continuing to develop new skills. It also gives students more ownership of the programs they attend.

All students enrolled at MVCS are encouraged to participate in one or more leadership programs.

Chapel Leadership Team

Students have an opportunity to serve on the Chapel Leadership Team throughout the school year. These students, along with faculty member, Nate Madden, meet to develop themes for the chapel services, come up with music and speakers, and minister to the student body.

The Citadel

The Citadel is an honor society of MVCS within the Nehemiah Project. The name Citadel is drawn from the historical fortification in Jerusalem whose purpose was to house guards of the city. Initiation into the Citadel is dependent upon an applicant's desire to be a member, their character, and their record of service and leadership. Citadel members have ongoing opportunities for leadership development under the direction of the Student Leadership team. Each year a Governor's Feast provides a special night to honor all Citadel members, their families and friends, and sponsors.

Nehemiah Project

Secondary students participate in the Nehemiah Project weekly by dividing into groups that study Worldview, Ethics/Etiquette, Discovering Purpose, and perform community service projects. A favorite service activity in the Nehemiah Project is the "Book and a Beanie" where high school students take the opportunity to read with kindergartners.

Sixth Grade Leadership

One week out of the year is dedicated to emphasizing a particular character trait to our elementary students through guest speakers, films, singing groups, poster contests, and other challenging events. The elementary student body is divided into teams led by a 6th grade team leader and an adult sponsor. These teams accumulate points by team participation in daily chapels, a food drive for the John 3:16 Mission, Scripture memory, and other contests. The fun is enhanced with special dress-up days, skits, and plenty of competition.

Student Leadership Council

The MVCS Student Leadership Council works to coordinate efforts between the different organizations. On some occasions, the groups work together to accomplish large goals, such as Operation Christmas Child.

STUCO

Student Council exists to promote spiritual growth and leadership among the secondary students, assist in directing and managing student activities, and provide a forum for student expression and exchange for student-faculty views. Student Council meets weekly on Wednesday mornings. Elections for 9th-12th grades are held at the beginning of the first semester.

TGIF-Thank Goodness It's Foreign

The MVCS Foreign Language Club (TGIF) exists to aid Mingo students in"reaching other nations with the Gospel of Christ" (II Cor. 5:20). TGIF students sponsor a little girl from Mexico and a little boy from Haiti since Spanish and French are the two foreign languages offered at MVCS. Students raise support for these children by providing and serving dessert at the Fall dinner theatre. TGIF also co-sponsors Operation Christmas Child and a Spring Bible drive to send Bibles around the world.
