What We Believe
Zion is a congregation that believes the Holy Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God which forms and informs what we believe and how we worship.
The Bible tells us of the story condition of sinful humanity and the depths of the love of our Heavenly Father. This love finds the fullness in the person and work of Jesus Christ, who being the Son of God, became human in His birth of the Virgin Mary and offered up His life to win the salvation of all humanity.
This AMAZING GRACE is what makes us His children and leads us to reach out to those around us. This undeserved love is proclaimed from our pulpit in every worship service and taught in our School and Bible Classes. We look forward to seeing you this Sunday Morning!!

FAQ’s
What do I wear on a Sunday?
Like Jesus, Zion doesn’t look at the clothes you wear. When you come to Zion it isn’t about the tag on your shirt, it’s about what’s in your heart. All we ask that you do is come prepared to hear the Word of God spoken into your life, receive His gifts, and rejoice among the people of God. If you want to wear a three piece suit, wonderful. If you’re wanting to wear designer jeans, great. If you’re coming in hand me downs, wonderful! We just want you to be here and part of the kingdom of heaven with us.
What do you have for my kids?
Zion offers an array of ministries for the young, and the young at heart. During the course of worship, Zion has a room in the narthex for parents to use should your baby need a diaper change- life does happen. As your child is a part of the family of God, and saved by our savior Jesus, we take the admonition of Jesus seriously to let the little children come to HIm. We have bags to help keep little hands occupied, but we want our children with you, rejoicing in and celebrating the work of our Savior Jesus.
What is the worship style there?
Zion generally celebrates traditional Divine Worship following the settings of the Lutheran Service Book. As such, we tend to have a liturgical format, with sprinklings of various songs from our Wednesday Chapel Services, and Alternate Worship. We follow together in worship hearing the admonition of Paul to do everything in good order. We do celebrate Communion at all of our weekend services.
Zion, being a member of the LCMS, and the greater orthodox church, does practice closed communion. If you were to come to service, we would encourage you to introduce yourself to Pastor, or the Elder for the service, and let them know what LCMS congregation you are from, or if you are a visitor coming to worship with us.
