Zion Lutheran Church, a part of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod, believes the Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God and the ultimate authority for faith and practice. Rooted in the teachings of Martin Luther and the Lutheran Reformation, we emphasize the central doctrines of the Christian faith, including justification by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, the priesthood of all believers, and the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
In practice, we adhere to a liturgical tradition that includes the regular celebration of the Divine Service, which follows a structured format centered on the proclamation of the Gospel and the administration of the sacraments.
Zion places a strong emphasis on Christian education, both for children and adults, through Sunday school, Bible studies, and theological training. Additionally, the Church is actively involved in global missions, mercy ministry, and social outreach, seeking to share the love of Christ and meet the physical and spiritual needs of individuals and communities around the world.
Overall, we faithfully uphold the teachings of Scripture, to nurture believers in their faith journey, and to bear witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the second person of the Holy Trinity, who became incarnate for the salvation of humanity. Zion teaches that Jesus is both fully divine and fully human, possessing two natures in one person.
In His divine nature, Jesus is eternal, omnipotent, and omniscient, being of one substance with the Father and the Holy Spirit. As the Son of God, He is the Word made flesh, through whom all things were created and by whom all things hold together.
In His human nature, Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, and experienced all aspects of human existence, including hunger, fatigue, and temptation. He suffered and died on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world, offering Himself as the perfect and complete payment for humanity’s salvation.
Through His death and resurrection, Jesus conquered sin, death, and the powers of evil, offering forgiveness, reconciliation, and eternal life to all who believe in Him. As the risen Lord, He now reigns at the right hand of the Father, interceding for His people and promising to return in glory to judge the living and the dead.
Jesus Christ is the focal point of faith and the foundation of salvation, inviting all people into a personal relationship with God and offering the hope of new life both now and for eternity.
The historical Lutheran liturgy, rooted in the Reformation and emphasizing Scripture and sacraments, preserves traditional forms while focusing on the Gospel’s proclamation and the profound significance of Baptism and the Eucharist as essential means of grace.
