📸 From the CUC Archives. A guitar circle, a sunny afternoon, and a Volleyball Tournament t-shirt — that's what we know. What we'd love to know is where this was taken, when, and who these students are.

If this looks familiar, we'd love to hear from you in the comments or email us at [email protected].

Today marks the 163rd academic year of Concordia University Chicago!

Our theme is "Rooted in Christ's Love." Please join us in praying for the entire CUC community on this upcoming year!

"...that according to the riches of His glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith - that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." - Ephesians 3:16-19.
