Office of Education


Faithful Stewards of the Gospel

The Education Executive assists congregations that operate schools through staffing resources, accreditation, state and federal advocacy, consultation, and professional growth opportunities.

Through the Office of Education, we also provide seminars and conferences for professional church workers, aid early childhood ministries through consultation, materials, pastoral enrichment, and professional growth for their teachers.

We provide support, encouragement, leadership, and resources for young people and their congregations, including youth gatherings, leadership training, community service events, youth-oriented seminars and retreats, counseling training, and spiritual growth opportunities.

Finally, we unequivocally support men and women in their calling to serve as full-time church workers who have unmet financial needs during their years of study in our Concordia University system.
