Knowing Jesus. Growing in Faith. Serving with Love.
At Zion Lutheran Church, School and Preschool, we wholly rely on God’s abundant grace to help us know Jesus, grow in faith and serve in love. We recognize that, apart from Christ through His sacrificial love and death on the cross for our sins, we can do nothing. Here is what our mission looks like in the lives of our members:
Knowing Jesus – Having a personal relationship with Jesus as Savior through Worship, God’s Word, and the Sacraments
Growing in Faith – Connecting with God and each other through the study of His Word, fellowship, and prayer
Serving with Love – Showing Christ’s love through giving of our time and talents in our Church and School, the community, and the world
Vision Statement
By the Holy Spirit, Zion encourages all people to grow from who they are to who God created them to be.
What does this mean?
Because of sin, we as people are not who God created us to be. Zion, by the power of the Holy Spirit, aspires to reach our community within and beyond the church, school, and preschool to help people grow in their knowledge of Jesus, their faith in the Triune God, and their willingness to serve others with love.
