Welcome to the Office of Church Relations
The Office of Church Relations nourishes relations between Concordia College–New York and regional Lutheran congregations.
Among its objectives, the Office of Church Relations:
- Articulates the mission of the College as a quality Christian liberal arts institution to its Lutheran constituency
- Encourages congregations to surface the brightest and the best among their youth to be recruited by Concordia’s Office of Admission
- Manages and expands the East Coast Association of Congregations—congregations that resolve to support Concordia’s mission
- Develops and sponsors programs that are of service to regional congregations and the church at large
- Supports and encourages Concordia Sunday** in congregations
- Is a Concordia College–New York presence at workshops and conferences
Above all, we aim to serve as a resource for you and your congregation and connect you with your Concordia. Choose from the many links on this page or contact me directly to discuss your specific questions and ideas.
** Every year, the Concordia University System (CUS) Board of Directors designates one Sunday during the month of April for the congregations of The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod to celebrate Concordia Sunday. Concordia College–New York is celebrating its Concordia Sunday on April 29, 2012.
Concordia Sunday is an opportunity to celebrate the ministries of our colleges and universities with the members of all LCMS congregations. A bulletin insert can be found here.
Please consider taking up a door offering for financial support of Concordia College–New York.
In Christ,
Rev. Gregory Dwyer
Director of Church Relations
