Host a Concordia Sunday

Concordia’s Church Engagement Director, Rev. Russ Sommerfeld, is happy to come to speak with your congregation at a table at the entrance of the church, lead a Bible study or even preach. This is a great opportunity to see how God is working through Concordia. If you're interested in learning more about hosting a Concordia Sunday, please contact Rev. Russ Sommerfeld.

Concordia's Lutheran Guarantee

Undergraduate students from a Lutheran congregation are guaranteed at least $25,000 in institutional aid, which can be combined with additional scholarships. Graduate students may also qualify for a special $340 per credit hour rate, the lowest in Nebraska and among Concordia University System schools.

Concordia's Church Work Guarantee

Concordia is dedicated to providing workers for God’s kingdom on earth. To make your Christ-centered education more affordable and accessible, our promise to each full-time student enrolled in a church work program is a first-year tuition balance of $10,700 or less after institutional aid is awarded. Additional aid from your home congregation, LCMS District and state and federal aid may be stacked on top of our commitment to further reduce the cost of tuition.
