Shine Forth - Concordia's Comprehensive Campaign

Shine Forth. Concordia's Comprehensive Campaign

For more than a century, Concordia University, Nebraska has been a place where faith and learning come together to shape lives of purpose. Like a light set where it can be seen, the work done here has never been meant to be hidden; generation after generation of students has been formed, equipped and sent out to serve, lead and reflect Christ in the world. Today, we have the opportunity to build on that legacy, strengthening what has been entrusted to us and preparing the way for that light to shine even further in the years ahead.
