Matthew 25:1–13

Click below to hear Pastor Jeff's sermon:

Concordia is a University “centered in the gospel of Jesus Christ." This means that the good news of who Jesus is and what he has done remains the source, center, and purpose of all we do. There are other Universities which are “Christian” in name or history, only. That’s not us. The life of Christ is lived-out in countless ways at Concordia: from the classroom, to the dorm room, to the practice field, to the concert hall, our students are being formed to lead and serve with “integrity, creativity, competence and compassion”—all in His name.

Concordia is highly regarded nationally through the contributions of its faculty and graduates to the work and mission of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Of particular interest to congregations are programs such as Director of Christian Education, Director of Parish Music, Deaconess, Pre-seminary and Lutheran Teacher Education that directly impact Lutheran parishes and institutions throughout the world.

The University also offers hundreds of other graduate and undergraduate programs in a diversity of academic disciplines such as nursing, accounting, counseling, business and technology, as well its excellent liberal arts programs. 

The Lord has abundantly blessed this institution and its 34,000 alumni over its 150-year history. We give all thanks and praise to the Triune God for the impact of hundreds of programs delivered in 37 states and 26 countries worldwide.
