President's Message

Welcome to Concordia University online! While much has changed in the last 141 years that the University has served the church and the world-at-large, much has not. We see higher education as an opportunity for growth in knowledge and faith, in wisdom and love, in experience and compassion. You will find evidence of this commitment to individual growth from the first moment you step onto our campus...or even read further on our web site.

As an institution, perhaps the greatest challenge Concordia faces today -- yet also one of its greatest joys -- is to grow and change with a diverse society, while remaining the same in its commitment and mission. Concordia is a school steeped in rich traditions and devoted to its students. Our heritage and our mission seek to develop the minds and hearts of our students into the servant-leaders of tomorrow. It is our calling to nurture, support and teach them to become the men and women God intended them to be -- for whatever path in life they choose.

We cordially invite you to experience all Concordia has to offer -- educationally, professionally and spiritually. Come walk our campus, meet our faculty, talk with our students and bask in the warmth of our fellowship. Every professor and staff member shares my deepest commitment to helping our students -- whether they be undergraduates, adult learners or graduates -- to achieve their educational goals and dreams.

We think you will discover what so many other Concordia University graduates already have: an affordable education that nurtures and enriches mind and soul.

In His Service,

Dr. John F. Johnson
