The road to becoming a viable, burgeoning college in New York State is an arduous process that requires months, even years of careful planning, academic development, and detailed research and development. Mahanaim is striving each day to reach its long term aspirations of becoming a college. The ultimate goals of Mahanaim are five-fold:

1. To cultivate the leaders of tomorrow through the wisdom of God
Mahanaim has been established to assist in spreading the Gospel all over the world. It will become a key instrument in distributing the love of God to those that are living without peace and happiness. Mahanaim will represent the heart of God by being a place that provides direct support, comfort, protection, and personal development in battling this world of diminished hope.

2. To uphold the virtues of Challenge, Change, and Cohesion
As the landscape of higher education changes, so do academic standards and expectations. Being part of Mahanaim means to challenge one’s spirit in confronting and overcoming difficult circumstances, which lead to both personal and global change. Bringing forth change requires people, along with their ideas, plans, and actions, to become unified. Success at Mahanaim depends upon the ability to commence with one heart and one common goal as a cohesive unit under God.

3. To become a college that harbors academic excellence
Mahanaim will dedicate itself to recruiting leading instructors from all over the world. This faculty will not only teach, guide, and mentor, and convey a strong sense of focus and dignity towards academic growth, but will accentuate the invaluable effects of practical experience. When students can wield the power that stems from first-hand field experience in concordance with their in-class education, it will mold them into indispensable contributors to society.

4. To become an institution that helps change the world
Mahanaim plans on creating academic programs and extra-curricular activities that have global reach. A person can live either a narrow life that is focused on self-gratification, or can live for a bigger purpose with a potential to change the lives of countless people around the world. Whether in world missions, theology, or musical performance, Mahanaim plans on educating its students not to learn and develop their skill sets for selfish reasons, but to become true, selfless agents of change in a world that desperately needs hope. Mahanaim believes the capacity to bring forth change means that one be free from their own personal confines so they can devote their energy and spirit to something bigger than themselves.

5. To be a place that respects and embraces the community and serves its community Mahanaim is grateful to be a part of such a loving, accepting community in Huntington.
As a new but, hopefully, lasting member to the neighborhood, Mahanaim will devote itself to initiating community outreach, cultural exchange, musical performances, and betterment of the environment, all in efforts to create an even better living environment for the citizens of its surrounding communities.
