What does this mean? The university is committed to the Christian growth of its students through degree programs in professional education and the liberal arts. In addition, Concordia's faculty, staff and students are committed to service to the church and community and to scholarly activity and research.
These programs and activities are set forth in an explicit value system that has as its core: faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and only Savior of the world, commitment to the Holy Scriptures as the communicator of that faith and commitment to the Lutheran Confessions as a true exposition of the Scriptures (see also "Belief & Practice" at LCMS.org).
Concordia's programs promote intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual growth. They nurture religious commitment, enlarge social and cultural understanding, provide insights for Christian action in the world and facilitate the ability to communicate effectively. The programs provide an opportunity for intelligent selection of vocations for service to God, church and society, and they are designed to develop the professional competencies and commitment required for responsible participation and leadership in a complex and diverse society.
