On May 28, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod’s (LCMS) Concordia University System (CUS) Board of Directors announced that the Rev. Dr. Jamison Hardy has accepted the call to serve as the next president of the CUS. Most recently, Hardy has served as president of the LCMS English District and associate pastor of Our Savior Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hartland, Mich. In addition, he has been an advisory member of the CUS Board of Directors since November 2022.
Announcing Hardy’s acceptance of the call, CUS Board Chairman Rev. Mark Braden said, “Dr. Hardy is uniquely qualified to help, support and lead our universities in continually strengthening the Lutheran identity on our campuses. As chairman, I look forward to working together with Dr. Hardy to do the good work with which our Synod in convention has charged us.”
In his message of acceptance, Hardy called his time as district president “a great honor of my professional career” and asked for prayers for his family, the CUS and “especially for my beloved English District as they continue to move forward in serving the Lord and proclaiming His grace.”
Hardy will begin his new role on July 15, with a formal installation to follow. More information will be provided when it is available.
