MVL is blessed to have a great number of people in our family, all with a heart for Christian education. The Spirit of MVL Gala is designed to bring this family together in thanksgiving.

The 2023 event raised funds to put signage up on our new building.

Thanks to the generous givers, item donors, sponsors, and viewers, more than $50,000 was raised for these two important pieces!

Additionally, we honored our 2023 Spirit of MVL award recipients: Arvid & Judy Schwartz, Palmer Busing, and New 2 You Family Thrift Store. We thank these individuals for using their time, talents, and treasures to the glory of God and to the benefit of Christ-centered education.

Thank you to our Sponsors!
