Rev. Nicholas Zook

The Rev. Nicholas J. Zook has served as pastor of Concordia Church in Chicago since his ordination in 1981.

Under his leadership, Concordia Church established a community outreach ministry in 1981 to serve the needs of single parents and low-income families in the neighborhood around the church. From this ministry, Concordia Place was established.

As Board Chair for over 40 years, Nicholas grew Concordia Place to a mission-driven nonprofit with four centers in Chicago’s north and northwest sides. Concordia Place serves over 700 children, teens, and families each year.
