About Zion Lutheran Church
-
As a community of Christ’s disciples of all ages, we, as a faith family, engage in ministry that strives to respond to God’s love by giving to others.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT ZION IS A LUTHERAN CHURCH?
It means Zion is a faith community that preaches, teaches and strives to live out a spirituality that’s flavored with Lutheran thinking about God, faith and daily living. This spirituality shapes how we see ourselves in relation to God and how we engage with the world. We inherited it from Martin Luther, a 16th century pastor, teacher and theologian – but it’s by no means out-of-date!For us Lutherans it’s always a question of grace, God’s grace. We sum up how we understand our relationship with God using these words: “justified by grace through faith on account of Christ.”
justified – made right with God
by grace – as free and loving gift from God
through faith – in response to the calling of the Holy Spirit through the gospel
on account of Christ – because of what Christ has done, not because of anything we’ve done or ever could do.
