Your participation helps our 8th grade class cover part of the cost of their class trip to Washington, D.C. at the end of April. Join us for a catered dinner, live music, games and live and silent auctions. We have some AMAZING items that will be auctioned off and prizes for games. See the details below:

Date: Friday, March 7

Location: Zion Worship Center & Lobby

Cost: $150/couple (single tickets also available for $75)

Sponsorships for the event are also available! Please see the information attached. Can't wait to see you there!

Zion’s fieldhouse project is underway! We are preparing to raze the old garage down the hill so we can break ground and begin building our new fieldhouse that will help expand our athletics program and offer a place for concessions when we host games. This project is thanks to some generous donors who love our school. You can donate, too! If you’d like to support the fieldhouse project, you can write a check to Zion with “Fieldhouse” in the memo portion, or you can give electronically by clicking here.

Have you ever closed your Bible and thought “what did I just read?” Starting January 12, we will partner with The Bible Recap to read through the Old Testament. The Bible Recap is a chronological reading plan with a daily podcast that highlights and summarizes the Bible in an easy-to-understand way. It will not only help you read scripture but help you love reading it. Click the button below for the reading plan or paper copies are available in the Lobby and Narthex.
