A Message from Pastor Deb

Welcome to Zion, a warm and loving church community. Zion is an extraordinary place to be. The church was begun in 1949 - 50 years ago as a missionary church of the former Evangelical United Brethern Church.

If you have a desire for a personal relationship with God, want to work and serve God in the world, we invite you to come and join us. Together we can learn and grow in the love of God, the redeeming spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit, through praise and prayer each Sunday morning.

Our doors are always open to everyone. We hope to see you soon.
