The Concordia Deaconess Conference (CDC) is an association of active or previously active Lutheran Church Missouri Synod deaconesses. The CDC provides a community of support and renewal for deaconesses and a yearly opportunity for continuing education. The CDC has generously allowed student deaconesses to wear the deaconess uniform with a light blue cross insignia to assist in formation of the students’ identity. The official CDC motto is based on 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3: We give thanks to God always for you all, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. Drawing on this passage, the CDC motto reads: Working in faith Laboring in love Remaining steadfast in the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ.
