Concordia Publishing House celebrates 150th anniversary

After a century and a half, Concordia Publishing House’s mission hasn’t changed: developing products that are faithful to God’s Word. “CPH has walked besides generations of individuals, sharing the hope found only in Christ,” said Dr. Bruce G. Kintz, President and CEO of Concordia Publishing House. “From Bibles given at confirmation, to the hymnals in the pew, to the devotions that start our days, CPH is blessed to continue into the future as the publisher of the LCMS.”

Located in the same South St. Louis neighborhood since 1869, Concordia Publishing House has a long history of supporting Christians in their faith through flagship products such as The Lutheran Study Bible, The Lutheran Service Book, Portals of Prayer, Arch Books, The Concordia Commentary Series, Lutheran Service Builder, Sunday school and Vacation Bible School curriculum, and many more.

These Bibles and books are often passed down from generation to generation, cherished for years, and well-read—playing a crucial role in faith development and family relationships. Readers are encouraged to share stories of their favorite CPH book on social media using #MyCPH150.
