In 1963 Concordia moved from the corner of South Anthony and Maumee Avenue to its present location along the St. Joseph River at North Anthony Boulevard and St. Joe River Drive . In its nearly 70 years of existence, Concordia has touched the lives of over 10,000 graduates with a Christ-centered environment noted for academic excellence and dynamic extra-curricular programs.

Concordia engages and nurtures a diverse student body [13% minority] in a Christ-centered, value-oriented educational environment that prepares students for lives of service to the church and community. Concordia's enrollment is open to students from all churches and backgrounds. David Widenhofer
