How can I grow at Zion?

Our church is not a place for spectators.  Whether you are a five-year old child, a ninety-five year old grandparent, middle age or college age, we want you to be a part of our church community. Here are ways to GROW at Zion.

Zion Kids (K-6 grade)
New season starts September 12th
**Childcare is currently still available during worship services**
Zion Kids is a dedicated time for little ones to connect to Jesus.  They will learn about God, the Bible, and building a foundation of worship.  Zion Kids meets every Sunday at 9, 10, and 11 am for around 45 minutes to one hour in the church.  They get worship songs, a Bible story, and age appropriate activity led by a loving and supportive volunteer.
 
Zion Youth (7-8 grade)
Zion Youth meets every Sunday at 10 am in the Church Library.
At Zion, we want all 7th and 8th graders to feel at home continuing to build a relationship with Jesus.  That’s why Zion Youth is open to all junior high students.  Students will learn about Scripture and the church as well as world religions and social justice.
Zion Students (9-12 grade)
