"It was You who set all the boundaries of the earth;

You made both summer and winter." 

Psalm 74:17

Dear Concordia alumni,


“Christ Our Firm Foundation” is the 2024-25 theme for CUAA. "It emphasizes Jesus as our unshakable rock and source of peace and confidence amidst life’s uncertainties," reflects Campus Pastor Randy Duncan. "When life seems shaky, Jesus remains unshakable. When uncertainty surrounds us, He remains certain. As we build our lives on Christ and His Word, trusting in His promises, we can withstand any of the storms that come our way."  No matter where we are in life--student, working, retired--each of us can take solace in knowing that Christ grounds us if we keep Him as our foundation.


Close your eyes for a minute and remember your first day and first Chapel service. Do you remember any of your academic themes? There's an incomparable beauty and peace that CUAA students find in the Spirit-led fellowship here. Come along and celebrate a new year and make Christ your firm foundation.

Reflections on this year's theme

Our theme for 2024-25 is “Christ our Firm Foundation” and it is based on 1 Samuel 2:2: “There is none holy like the Lord: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.”

When education is far-reaching

Anyone in the world can enroll in and become a certified teacher in Michigan through our program! As our program grows, the number of students not living in or near the Ann Arbor area continues to grow as well. Take a look at how our program continues to change lives.

Do you remember your move-in days?

New student move-in was a success! Take a look at these photos that may remind you of years past.
