Membership Classes
This orientation to membership provides a brief overview of Lutheran Christian beliefs and practices, the ministries of Zion, and expectations of members.
A class is held about 3 times each year. It will usually include a family meal; a review of Bible basics, faith practices, and personal spirituality; an introduction to church staff, and an opportunity for participants to ask questions about the Bible, the Christian faith, or Zion Lutheran Church.
