Concordia's Mission: The purpose of Concordia College is to influence the affairs of the world by sending into society thoughtful and informed men and women dedicated to the Christian life. Concordia is a global liberal arts college rooted in the Lutheran intellectual tradition. We are an open and respectful community that nurtures students in their quest for authentic identity and life purpose. Concordia welcomes students from all spiritual and cultural backgrounds and seeks to prepare them for the great work of life. At Concordia, we seek to educate students in every aspect of their lives. Concordia's mission highlights our commitment to the Lutheran academic tradition, including discerning vocation and cultivating lives of meaning and purpose in service to the neighbor, seeking truth and asking hard questions with nothing off limits for inquiry and critique, encouraging students to explore their passionate convictions through civil discourse, recognizing that the complexities of life demand more than either/or thinking and simple answers, nurturing relationships, building community, and seeking mutual understanding in the pursuit of learning as a model for responsible engagement... in the world, and offering a distinct approach to learning by discussing faith and reason and linking the liberal arts, professional studies, and civic engagement. Rooted in our Lutheran identity, we respond to the generosity of God by reaching out to our neighbor with faith rooted in love. By cultivating a community that is open to all, we seek to build peace through understanding and serve the world together.
