Zion offers many different paths for your walk of faith. What is your next step?
Sunday Education
For children in Pre-K through 6th Grade, each Sunday includes a time for Children’s Church during worship, with education and activities that help make connections with God, the church, and the stories of the Bible.
For adults and teens, on most Sundays after worship, we offer Confirmation class and our “Growing In Faith” time for discussion, study, and prayer.
Parents and children can be “on the same page” by studying common Bible themes in worship and in most classes. When families talk about Christian faith, good things happen. These church lessons become life lessons, lived out all week long.
Pray Without Ceasing
In 2025, Zion joined the “Pray Without Ceasing” initiative started among ELCA churches. During this time of significant change, this prayer movement has a mission of uplifting and uniting communities. It offers a weekly time of prayer, worship, and conversation — a non-partisan, faith-focused way to talk, pray, and hear God’s Word connected to events going on locally and around the world.
Zion’s “Pray Without Ceasing” time is currently 11:30am Eastern Time each Wednesday. For those who can’t be in the sanctuary in person, a Zoom link is available.
New Beginnings
This course is for all who are…
- Feeling that God might be calling you to something new; or
- interested in deepening Christian faith and beliefs; or
- Considering membership at Zion; or
- Just curious about Lutheran beliefs and traditions:
Pastor Jim offers the New Beginnings course two or three times a year, as needed. This is a time to get together an talk about our experiences and beliefs, church basics, and what it means to be a Christian in the Lutheran tradition. For some people, this could lead to being baptized or starting or renewing membership at Zion. For others, it may be a “faith refresher,” a form of “adult confirmation,” or a chance to share ideas. There are no obligations or expectations. All are welcome, including family and friends.
Good News & Brews
Adapted from the “Pub Theology” model, Good News & Brews is Zion’s casual, open-to-anybody gathering for conversation and friendship. We talk about all kinds of topics related to God, church, community, and life in general. Food and drink are optional, your choice.
