If it's Bible you want, then Multnomah is the right fit for you. You have to realize, however, that the classes provided are not easy, because the professors require you to earn your grade, unlike some colleges. You need to be prepared for being open with people in the community, but you do not have to share your whole life with everyone that asks you how you are doing.
