About Concordia University
Concordia is a private, Lutheran liberal arts university in Portland, Ore., that welcomes students of any faith. Committed to the dual purpose of preparing students for life and for a living, Concordia provides a challenging, yet supportive, learning environment where spirited intellectual inquiry strengthens our students’ commitment to justice, compassion and moral integrity.
We have nurtured these ideas and pursued this mission for more than 100 years, yet we feel like we have just begun. Perhaps that’s because our students call us to make a fresh start each day. It is their questions, their needs, and their desire to transform themselves and their world that pushes us to the edge of our pedagogical seats. We wouldn’t have it any other way because teaching is our ministry. We hope someday you will join us.
