Matt Blandin
Athletic Director
I am thrilled to serve the MVCA family as the Athletic Director! Over my 17 years in interscholastic educational athletics, I have witnessed God use the athletic experience to allow students to discover how to impact the world around them for Christ. God created our human bodies and has given us many talents and abilities. Athletics performed in their proper Christian context can be greatly beneficial in developing these talents and abilities through spiritual, physical, and mental means. In today’s world, many of the most popular and published athletes are the ones aiming to glorify themselves, rather than God through their actions. At MVCA, we seek to focus on the many truths about Christian athletics that are from God’s word and set us apart from the “world’s” viewpoint of athletics. It is fundamental that each Christian athlete, coach, parent, and supporter at MVCA be willing to surrender, make changes, grow and mature so that God will be glorified in all that we do as MVCA Lions.
