Affirming

You are more than welcome; you belong. When we say, “everyone belongs,” we really mean everyone. We love and welcome people from all walks of life. This is to be a place where you learn to grow in your relationship with Jesus.

Here you will find full affirmation and celebration of who God has created you to be. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey — or no journey at all — you have a place at the table at Zion Church.

Empowering

The church is not a place; it’s a movement. So as a faith community, by God’s grace, the good news we share also empowers us to action.

We put our hands and feet where our heart is, working for justice, equity, belonging, and love — wherever we are. We are a small church, where people will know your name. A place that emboldens us and moves us not just to worship, but also to action. We leave this space to offer others the Good News.

Anchoring

When the world leaves you feeling heavy or anxious, exhausted or hopeless, we share in good news each week that anchors you and is relevant to your life. This is not a place to receive a lecture! This is a place to receive the Good News of Jesus Christ.

It is our hope that this place offers you solid footing, reminds you you’re not alone, and helps you stay connected to what really matters.

FAQs

  • Yes, you have! There has been an ongoing debate about inclusion of our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters recently in the news. The Global Methodist Church has started a new denomination apart from the United Methodist Church for reasons around inclusion. Zion is remaining United Methodist. We remain committed to inclusion of all people.

    If you are coming from a church that split and are looking for a United Methodist Church, we are here for you. We grieve the loss of our separated brothers and sisters, however, must continue forward in a discipleship rooted in hospitality.

  • Whether you are a lifelong United Methodist, or not it is our hope that you are comfortable in worship with us. At Zion we offer a traditional worship service. Each Sunday we recite the Apostles Creed, The Lord’s Prayer, and have an open time for prayer both joys and concerns. Do not worry if you do not know what to do, no one is here to judge anyone on whether they know all the words this is a journey. Zion is a place to grow, and live into our calling to be disciples, to be sent out into the world to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ.
