Human Performance Overview Our human body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and we are commanded to be good stewards of our body. Corban’s Human Performance program believes that Christians are to understand and apply the principles of physical health in order to enhance both their mental and spiritual health. The foundational basis of the program lies in its focus on biblical principles through which individual understanding and development prepare one for a life of service to others. A primary function of the program is to provide the student with activity-oriented knowledge and problem solving skills to meet the demands of a life of ministry in the human performance fields.
