Concordia has put me in a place where I am regularly around a worshipping community. I’m able to attend chapel, Evening Prayer and Divine Service with my friends every week. Being in communion with one another in that setting builds everyone up in their faith tremendously.

Our Promises of a Lutheran Education 

At Concordia, we emphasize the Christ-centered message of the Gospel in the higher education we deliver. In addition to promoting a supportive culture where you can grow and thrive, we ensure you receive a Lutheran, Christian higher education, built on four foundational promises—community, inquiry, purpose and wisdom—that ensure you will be equipped not only with a set of skills and a degree, but also a sense of Christian vocation and purpose for the future.

Student Life at Concordia

With the majority of Concordia's students living on campus, there is always something going on both during the week and on the weekends. Many of our students come from out of state, meaning they stick around during the weekends. The Student Activities Council regularly schedules fun activities and events like concerts, comedic performances, dances and much more.
