CSP at the LCMS Youth Gathering

CSP Video and Booth Showcasing What It’s Like to be a Student at CSP

At the 2025 LCMS Youth Gathering, we wanted to show just how beautiful the Minnesota seasons truly are, through the lens of a nostalgic film camera.

Our video takes viewers on a journey through a year of college life at Concordia University, St. Paul, capturing raw, candid, and deeply relatable moments. CSP students were given film cameras to document their real experiences, from everyday campus life to adventures around the Twin Cities.

Enjoy the moments they captured, meaningful snapshots of what it’s like to be a student at CSP.

We also were delighted to greet hundreds of students and alumni in the CSP booth. Here are a few photos of the activity in the booth.
