Residents have access to a shared, non-gender-specific kitchen. We highly recommend that residents supply a mini-refrigerator in their rooms and plan on storing other kitchen supplies and food in their rooms as well. Unfortunately, no other small electric kitchen appliances may be used in the rooms but can be used in the kitchen space. We also highly recommend purchasing at least a partial meal plan.

Multnomah’s Faculty-in-Residence (FIR) program plays an integral role in holistically investing in the lives of our students. FIR takes the well-known care and attention of our professors to another level. It creates more learning opportunities, mentorship, and fosters a deeply-rooted community of Christ-followers who support each other in day-to-day life.
