2026 ushered in the start of our Christ’s Way: Continuing in Faith campaign, which is a follow-up to the Christ’s Way campaign which started in 2023 and raised funds through 2025. Zion was blessed with an extremely successful first three years! 99.8% of pledged commitments were received, totaling $1,579,903.87! In addition to the pledged amount, an additional $196,162.42 was received through non-pledged donations and special events. Total giving toward the ministry expansion came to $1,776,066.29! What a blessing this is for future generations of Zion Lutheran Church, School and Preschool! Thank you for your support!
Please follow the campaign on social media!
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6
