I beg you, stay away. Don't let Ken Steorts bend your ear for second. Keep your money, don't waste your time, just stay away. Save yourself and the ones you love from Ken's rapacious need for power, clout and grandeur. Under the school's facade of excellence and Christian values, lies an unseemly place. Ken has taken a "calling" and made it a curse. With him at the helm, VMC can never be what it has every potential of being: great!
I graduated in 2017 as Salutatorian, awarded with the Cost of Discipleship Award, Excellence in Business Award, and was SGA President. I did my best with the utter disappointment that was my college experience. I was so excited to attend this school but I wish I had known that I was being told boldface lies about accommodations, accreditations, and career opportunities. What I thought would be a perfect fit for me ended up being more of a straight jacket than a tailored suit. Manipulation, neglect, and complete mismanagement is what I encountered instead of a christian community that serves the Lord through music and academics. Don't even get me started on the subpar academic standards at VMC. It's also, you guessed it, NOT WORTH YOUR TIME. And that's not even the worst of it...
I mean, just before my graduation it all blew up around the school that a married teacher sent video(s?) of himself m*sturbating to a then-current student, but he wasn't barred from campus and I had to see him in the audience as I received my worthless diploma on stage. In gut-wrenching contrast, a student reported being r*ped by a fellow classmate to the school and was met with expulsion just months before her graduation, banned from campus, and Ken illegally withheld her report from the U.S. Department of Education. So, do with that information what you will. But it happened. Ken Steorts, the "oh so wonderful, founding guitarist of the world renowned christian rock band, Skillet" allowed all of that to happen. There are so many people Ken's institutionalized hubris has harmed but I used the above story because I can back it up (Links below).
Don't even book the building for your wedding reception or event. Yeah, it looks cool and all and Ken sure is sweet talker. But Please, just STAY AWAY from VMC.
