Concordia Avondale Campus is a non-profit organization that believes in creating involved communities where all of our neighbors can... gather, learn & grow.

 

Concordia Lutheran Church has expanded its award-winning, community directed Full Day Preschool, After School and Full Day Summer Camp (based at 3855 N. Seeley) to include the new Concordia Avondale Campus, a child care and community center (3300 N. Whipple).

With two sites, we will reach even more families, and offer other needed services at the new facility. We are making incredible progress, thanks to the talents and commitment of volunteers, local residents and other supporters.

There is a growing sense of enthusiasm as we continue to develop new ministry for the Avondale community.

New Typing Labs!

Concordia’s computer lab opened its doors and programs have already begun. The newest class is the Typing Lab. This class is for anyone interested in becoming faster and more accurate on the keyboard. It’s great practice for teens, so homework and papers won’t take so long and great for adults to get more comfortable with the keyboard! The sessions are on Tuesdays at 4pm or 6pm. For all the other great computer classes: Intro to Computers, Intro to Email, A taste of Microsoft Word (a shorter class designed to teach the basics) and Exploring Word (a more in-depth Word class), classes are arranged to fit your schedule, with flexible class times and sessions. To get started in computer classes please email pclab@concordia-chgo.org or call 773-463-1600, ext. 312.

Opportunities Just for You

We understand that each person has unique talents and interests. We work with each volunteer - or groups of volunteers - so you can have a meaningful volunteer experience and make a difference.

Whether you enjoy children, technology, physical work, helping organize, or talking with people, we have opportunities that we can customize to your schedule. Many parents, staff, and church members volunteered to help at our booth at four summer festivals. And—don’t forget all those who keep our building and grounds safe and beautiful.

Learn how you can contribute to the opportunities at Concordia Avondale Campus HERE.
