An extensive search for the “perfect” site led to Irvine, California. Construction of the campus began in 1975 and in 1976 classes were held for the first time at 基督学院 Irvine, 机构原来的名称. 来自一栋楼和36个学生, the school has grown to over twenty buildings and an annual enrollment of more than 5,000年本科, graduate, 在线学位学生.
1993年2月,欧文基督学院校董会, responding to a decision by the LCMS to incorporate its ten colleges and universities into the 康考迪亚大学系统, voted to change the name of 基督学院 Irvine to 欧文康考迪亚大学. This CUS, 还有两所神学院, 130所高中, 以及900多所lms小学, comprises the second-largest church-related school system in the United States.
