• Assembly: We believe that regular and intentional opportunities to join together as the Multnomah community is crucial for the purpose of unity.
• Spiritual Formation: We believe that the study of God's word is a transformational process, affirming that education is a holistic endeavor, involving academic study, relational response to God, and direct application of truth to our lives and ministries.
• Education: It helps to define our distinctive as a Christian educational institution while at the same time contributing to the growth of relationships in Christ.
