Adult Bible Study

Zion Lutheran Church offers many opportunities for growth in God’s Word. Classes cover topics relating to our life of faith over a broad range of areas and interests. They are held on Sunday morning and at various times throughout the week.

Sunday morning classes typically cover individual books of the Bible, topics like marriage and family, and Christian teaching.

Adult Information Classes are offered in the Spring and in the Fall. The class is an overview of the teachings of the Christian faith, including the Ten Commandments, the Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, Baptism, Confession, and the Lord’s Supper.

Youth Sunday School

Sunday school classes are offered for children preschool age through high school. These classes help children develop Christian values, deepen faith in the Triune God and grow in their commitment to life-related service to God. Throughout the year the children serve by visiting the Lutheran Community Home, proclaiming God’s Word through a special Christmas service, and by making cards for shut-ins.

Outreach

Zion's outreach ministries include the Japanese outreach program, Groundwork Guatemala, and hosting the local MOMS group just to name a few. It begins with feeling God's call to serve and builds with support from dedicated members of the congregation working hand in hand with members of the community to be the foundation for Zion's outreach ministries. Following God's call to serve and share His love, our ministry will continue to spread and bless many members of our area and abroad.

Visitation & Pastoral Care

Zion’s pastors visit those who are hospitalized, homebound, or in a nursing home or other facility. They also visit people in their homes to offer support and guidance for their life of faith.

They also provide support and care for couples planning to be married or when there is a death in the family. Please feel free to call the church office any time that pastoral care is desired.

Parish Music

Martin Luther stated, “Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.” At Zion Lutheran Church, music is an important part of our worship. We currently offer several avenues for people to be involved with music in worship at Zion.

Zion Adult Choir enhances worship with songs and anthems a couple times per month. All high school age youth and adults are encouraged to participate in choir.

The Zion Adult Handbell Choir also participates in worship services once or twice per month.

The young children from our early childhood center (Zion Lutheran School) and our students who attend Immanuel Lutheran School also sing regularly in worship.

Youth Ministry

Proverbs 22:6 states, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Zion Lutheran Church’s Youth Ministry strives to help each child live their life to the glory of God by searching and discovering God’s Word and Truth.
