Let's first create your list of points:

points = Sort[(IntegerDigits[#1, 2, 3] & ) /@ Range[8]]
{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 0}, {0, 1, 1},
    {1, 0, 0}, {1, 0, 1}, {1, 1, 0}, {1, 1, 1}}

Let's define two funcitons:

f[a_, b_, c_] := a + b + c
g[a_, b_, c_] := a*b - c

This is how you can compute the values of f at all points:

  f @@@ points
  {0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3}

This is how to get the values of g at all points:

g @@@ points
{0, -1, 0, -1, 0, -1, 1, 0}


And this is how to get both the values of f and of g at once:

Transpose[Apply[Through[{f, g}[##]] &, points, {1}]]

{{0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3}, {0, -1, 0, -1, 0, -1, 1, 0}}

So you can first define your points, then a list of functions, and  
then use the above method to apply your list of functions to your  
list of points.
