Mission Statement
We are a congregation that strives to be an inviting, faithful, and growing presence in our community and in our world,
with a passion for living and spreading the love of Jesus Christ by using our spiritual and material gifts in the service
of all God’s people.
Welcome!
This small but active congregation has been in the same location for over 200 years and was the site of the establishment of
the Eastern Canada Synod (ECS) of the Lutheran Church in America (LCA). ECS is now a division of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in Canada (ELCiC). The original wooden structure was replaced in 1860 by the current brick building.
The cemetery behind the church dates from the early 1800s and is still in use today. The oldest known burial was recorded
in 1817, although it is thought that there were others which took place earlier.
Zion Lutheran Church is dedicated to the ELCIC's theme "In Mission for Others".
We are the proud supporters of Zion Home
in Tanzania, a project of The Olive Branch for Children. Their Home-Based Care (HBC) project, in which
Zion's Pastor Linda
participated as a trainer (see NOTES) in May 2010, integrates health care,
nutritional, psychological, educational and economic
support for 500+ patients. Learn more ...
