From 1926 to 2026
A 100 Year Anniversary to Celebrate
In 2026, Concordia University Texas celebrates 100 years of Christ‑centered education.
What began in 1926 as a Lutheran school preparing church workers has grown into a
vibrant university serving students from across Texas, the nation, and the world.
For a century, Concordia Texas has prepared students to lead lives of purpose, service, and faith. As we celebrate this milestone, we look back with gratitude and step forward with confidence into the next 100 years.
History of 100 Years
With God We Shall Do Valiantly
"With God We Shall Do Valiantly" comes from Psalm 108:13, the Scripture that helped shape the founding vision of Concordia Texas.
It reminds the Concordia Texas community that our strength comes not from human effort alone, but from trust in God’s guidance and provision. For a century, this truth has sustained the university through growth and change—and it continues to guide us into the next century.
Faithfully Forward Together
For 100 years, Concordia Texas has formed leaders who serve churches, communities, and professions with courage and compassion. Graduates now serve across Texas and beyond, carrying forward a legacy of Christ‑centered education.
Today, a growing campus community in Austin continues that mission as we celebrate the past and look toward the future God is leading us to build together.
