Concordia University System

Developing Christian leaders for the church, community and world

The Concordia University System (CUS) comprises five universities on several campuses affiliated with The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS). Located across the United States, the universities offer more than 160 undergraduate and 50 graduate programs.

While each institution is unique, all campuses approach learning from a Lutheran context. The common goal is to develop Christian leaders for the church, community, and world.

A supporter of Lutheran higher education commented, “The Concordia University System is one of the most powerful and far-reaching tools the Lord of the Church has given The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod to take the Good News of life in Jesus Christ to a world desperately in need of hearing and believing in Him, through professional church workers and those trained for other service in our communities.”

Set Apart to Serve

Set Apart to Serve (SAS), a major initiative of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), seeks to create an intentional culture of church worker formation and recruitment in every LCMS congregation, school and entity. SAS supports adults as they encourage youth to live a life in the Word of God and to consider serving in a full-time church work vocation.
