  • Has taught at Corban since 1982.

  • "The entire Corban experience reminds us that our careers and ministries are part of our communication with our Creator. This relational aspect of worship involves an ever-increasing knowledge of God and all that He has created (the Arts, Sciences, etc.). When life is over (and while it lasts) some of our greatest joys will be reflecting on those communicative experiences that have connected us with our Creator. Corban is a place where we walk together, laugh together and study together – a place where learn together to find God, sometimes where we least expect Him, " he said.

  • Marty is a member of Valley Baptist of Perrydale where he serves as the Youth/Family/Worship Pastor. He is also a member of the following organizations: National Council Teachers of English, Speech Communication Association, Association for Curriculum and Development, Council of Christian Colleges and Universities, co-director of RedeemingRelationships Ministries.
