Introduction to Membership
A New Member Introduction is held about 3 times each year, focused on getting to know the staff, and other members. There will also be a brief overview of Lutheran Christian beliefs and practices, the ministries of Zion, and expectations of members.
Event Details
- Fall New Member Introduction
The next New Member Introduction will be held after worship on Wednesday, October 3. This orientation to membership provides an introduction to Zion ministries and staff, an opportunity to meet others at Zion, and a little about what it means to be Lutheran.
