Service Projects

At Corban, students don’t wait until graduation to make a difference. Corban’s Serve Days are just one opportunity for students, staff, and faculty to show Christ’s love in practical ways through community service projects.

All across our city, there’s a need for hope, peace, and restoration, and it so easily goes unnoticed. Serve Day was a cool opportunity to get to share the good news, share the truth in a loving way, and help people to understand there is hope out there. It’s what we are called to do as believers.
