• Matt, who has been at Corban since 2004, says, "Corban's Education Program is simply the best in the Northwest, with a distinctive Christian worldview. In our graduate program, our students are committed to making their Christianity a part of their teaching practice in a very systematic and overt way. And our faculty -- when I watch how they live their lives as professors, I'm sometimes convicted and always encouraged. "
