Leading with the Gospel for more than 175 years

Director of Enrollment Rev. Jesse Kueker was invited by Dr. Yohannes Mengsteab of the LCMS Texas District to speak at the Eritrean Evangelical Lutheran Mission Society in Washington D.C. today. Kueker said, "As St. John the Baptist declared when he saw Jesus, 'Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world,' so we also proclaim this beautiful Gospel to all the ends of the earth so that more might hear of their Savior's love. The church needs pastors, and Concordia Seminary serves the church and the world by forming pastors to bring the Gospel into every church and community."

Each weekday, our Seminary community gathers in the Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus to hear God's promises and receive His gifts. This morning, Dr. Ryan Tinetti, assistant professor of Practical Theology, preached on Col. 1:1–14, reminding us of the deep truth that God "delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins" (Col. 1:13-14 ESV).

“It’s not that you and I make Jesus our Lord,” said Tinetti. “Jesus became your Lord and He made you His own. That makes all the difference that God has delivered you from the domain of dark death and brought you into the light of life.”

On Feb. 6, 2025, Concordia Seminary celebrated the re-dedication of its renovated Chapel of the Holy Apostles, located beneath Luther Tower. Originally dedicated in 1966 as the president's reception room, the space was later re-envisioned as a chapel — a quiet place of worship, prayer and reflection.

The renovation was made possible through the generous support of Paula Hertwig Hopkins, Linda Koch, the Concordia Seminary Guild and other anonymous donors. Their contributions have ensured the chapel will continue to serve future generations. 

Hertwig Hopkins, who attended the re-dedication, is the great-granddaughter of Rev. Friedrich Pfotenhauer, an 1880 graduate who served as pastor, missionary and eventually as president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. His legacy lives on in the chapel's stained-glass windows. 

Koch also attended, remarking, "When I think about the pastors who will find peace … in this chapel, I am grateful to help provide that space."

Concordia Seminary gratefully acknowledges all who made the restoration possible so the Chapel of the Holy Apostles may continue to bless those answering God’s call.

Halfway through summer Greek — and the momentum
Halfway through summer Greek — and the momentum is strong!

Our Summer Greek students are deep in vocabulary, parsing and translation. As they press on through this intensive course, we give thanks for their commitment and pray for continued endurance.

Cheer them on by sharing some Greek encouragement in the comments!

Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς μεθ' ὑμῶν ἔστιν. — Christ is with you.
