Concordia is unique because there are a lot of options to practice your faith – Bible studies, daily Chapel, a prayer room, Tuesday night worship, and morning matins. It is truly Christ-centered.


The atmosphere is so friendly and there is a great sense of community. The faculty and staff know you; they call you by name. It’s difficult to find a university like this where the people are instilled with the love of Christ and live it out daily.

In my time at Concordia, I have become more confident and driven and have developed into a leader. I used to attend retreats; now I help lead.  I am also the president of the Student Government Association (SGA). I have really enjoyed being as involved as I currently am and being able to express my faith freely.

Thank you so much for everything you have done for our campus and our Concordia family. A lot of what we have here is because of you, and we are eternally grateful for that. When I graduate, not only will I leave with lifelong friendships and an expert education, I will graduate with a lot of experience that will set me apart from others. I could only get this at Concordia. This wouldn’t be possible without your help.
