We share faith, prayer and care for individuals as brothers and sisters in Christ while preparing these students for their future vocations.

He said that without question, the best part of his job is working with students to help them develop their skills as they discover their visual voices.  

“Concordia Nebraska is a Christ-centered community,” he said. “This makes relationships inside and outside of the classroom more meaningful. We share faith, prayer and care for individuals as brothers and sisters in Christ while preparing these students for their future vocations. Classes are able to have open and candid discussions about how our faith shapes and informs our vocations, family and our lives in general.” 

Boggs is married to Megan (Kropf) Boggs ’02, and they have two children. For the past fifteen years, Seth has played guitar and led music at The Rock Lutheran Church in Seward most Sundays.  

Over the past three years, Seth has designed and painted several large-scale mural projects throughout the Seward area. This summer he completed two sides of a large building in Utica, Nebraska for the Utica Community Foundation. In addition to the Doghouse Grill, his mural work can also be seen in Seward at The Alps Bark Park, Jimmy John’s drive-thru and Squire Ward’s exterior patio.
