Life at Concordia

Join a community where you’re free to explore your interests and pursuits, make relationships that last a lifetime, and develop your own relationship with God. Your college experience is about learning, growing, and discovering who you are. What will you explore?

“Concordia’s community is so unique because we truly are a family. Everyone is so welcoming from the start, regardless of where you come from or who you are.”

Delainie D., ’24
