She also spent 11 years teaching MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) candidates at George Fox University and supporting and directing the university’s regional sites in Salem, Redmond, and Boise.

First of all, I believe teaching represents a calling from the Lord and provides significant opportunity to love, educate, guide, and influence others. Corban has a strong presence in local school communities—both public and private, faith-based schools—as well as schools in Indonesia. It is a privilege to serve beside educators, knowing the long-term spiritual impact this profession has on others.
