About Our Church

Who We Are

Zion is an old church doing new ministry in and around the West End of Monroe County, Pennsylvania. Zion is a 'Reconciling in Christ' congregation. Come and see what we're all about!

There is no longer Jew or Greek,
there is no longer slave or free,
there is no longer male and female;
for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28

At Zion United Lutheran Church, we believe that God’s grace is for all people and that everyone is welcome through our doors. Marty Haugen’s hymn “All Are Welcome” sums up for us the kind of church we strive to be:

Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live,
a place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive.
Built of hopes and dreams and visions,
rock of faith and vault of grace;
here the love of Christ shall end divisions:
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.

Our world is a place of brokenness and alienation. Jesus calls us to wholeness and reconciliation. As disciples of Jesus, we seek justice and healing among people. We are aware that gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons are often scorned by society and have been excluded from membership in some congregations. At Zion United Lutheran Church, we wish to make known our caring and concern and we welcome all people regardless of sex, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical or mental ability or disability, age, or station in life. We affirm that each person is God’s unique creation and by God’s grace, each is called a child of God.

All are welcome at Zion United Lutheran Church:
   Welcome to worship . . .
       Welcome to receive the sacraments . . .
           Welcome to participate in the fellowship of membership . . .
               Welcome to join in serving our neighbors in need . . .
                   Welcome to share the love of Christ with all the world . . .
                       Welcome to strive to live together as a reconciling people.
