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 missionof 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 Congreations —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–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.

In Christ,
