Vocation Speakers-in-Residence


Is it possible to live out my faith in any career field?

We believe the answer is “Yes!”

The Vocation Speaker-in-Residence series offers Concordia students the opportunity to explore that question with nationally distinguished persons in a variety of fields of service who speak clearly and passionately about their work in light of their Christian faith. During each academic year we will welcome a number of nationally recognized speakers to Concordia College.

The Call to Serve Project and Campus Ministry invite academic departments and student organizations to co-sponsor these residencies. During each 1-2 day residence, students will have the opportunity to interact with speakers in a variety of settings typically including Chapel, Wednesday Evening Communion Worship, and class discussions.
