It was rededicated Feb. 6, 2025, for renewed use by the Seminary community as a place for personal prayer. In particular, its mission theme and printed resources invite prayer for current pastors, deaconesses, and missionaries; for more harvest workers; and for the lost. A key element in the renovation of the prayer chapel was the removal, cleaning, repair and reinstallation of the large stained glass windows, of which the most prominent is the Mission Window.

Academic Quadrangle
Through the Walther Archway to the north is the Academic Quadrangle, a peaceful garden rimmed by flowering bushes and shrubs that also features a small koi pond constructed by seminarians. Students, faculty and staff often engage in conversation, study and contemplation here. Werner Auditorium, where the Seminary hosts classes and public events, and Wyneken Hall and Pieper Hall — which contain classrooms, faculty and administrative offices — border the area.
Benidt Community Center
Charles "Chuck" E. Benidt, raised near Milwaukee, founded the Charles E. Benidt Foundation in 2003 to support organizations reflecting his Christian values. A foundation challenge grant later funded a major renovation of the Seminary's dining hall complex, which includes Wartburg and Koburg halls. The complex was renamed to honor his grandfather, Johann Hinrich Benidt. Though Chuck died in 2006, his legacy continues through the foundation and the Benidt Center. To learn more: Benidt Center Brauer Hall
Ernst August Brauer (1819–96) immigrated from Germany in 1847 to serve as a missionary at the urging of Rev. Friedrich Wyneken, a missionary pastor who later became the second president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS).. He later joined Concordia Seminary as a professor of exegesis, logic and isagogics and contributed frequently to LCMS publications. Brauer Hall, named in his honor, is a dormitory housing 56 students. To learn more: Brauer Hall Carillons
The 49-bell carillon atop Luther Tower was dedicated in 1971 as a memorial to all pastors who have served The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. Cast in 1969–70 by the van Bergen foundries in the Netherlands and South Carolina, it is one of approximately 180 carillons in North America. The largest bell weighs 2½ tons; the lightest, 17 pounds. The carillon chimes weekdays as a call to chapel and on special occasions, including Call Day and Commencement, and summer concerts are offered for the Seminary and surrounding community. To learn more: Carillons Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus
The Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus is the first freestanding worship facility built since Concordia Seminary moved to its current location in Clayton, Mo., in 1926. Dedicated on Nov. 15, 1992, the chapel was designed to match the Collegiate Gothic architectural style of the original Seminary buildings, with matching dormers and stonework, and was intentionally located at the heart of campus to reflect the Seminary community's emphasis on worship as central to its life.
The campus community gathers daily for chapel at 9:35 a.m. for prayer, preaching and music. Holy Communion is observed every Wednesday.
Chapel of the Holy Apostles
The Chapel of the Holy Apostles was renovated in 2024 through the generous contributions of Seminary supporters. It was rededicated Feb. 6, 2025, for renewed use by the Seminary community as a place for personal prayer. In particular, its mission theme and printed resources invite prayer for current pastors, deaconesses, and missionaries; for more harvest workers; and for the lost. A key element in the renovation of the prayer chapel was the removal, cleaning, repair and reinstallation of the large stained glass windows, of which the most prominent is the Mission Window.
