Adult Discipleship at Zion

New Member Classes

For those considering membership at Zion, we offer orientation classes quarterly; January, April, July, and October. Check with the church office or Pastor Mike for exact dates. Orientation requires attendance at three classes each about an hour and a half in length where you will be introduced to Lutheran beliefs, the ministry opportunities available to you at Zion, the staff at Zion, and last but not least, encouraged to enter into relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and each other through worship, education and service. Lutherans entering by transfer of membership will also be encouraged to attend these orientation sessions.

Adult Classes

At both 9:45 and 11:00 a.m. on Sundays and sometimes in the evening (on Sundays and during the week), adult classes are offered, with topics ranging from Bible study to family issues. Most classes are 6-weeks long, so several topics are covered each year. The learning environment seeks to encourage a sense of community, intellectual challenge, deepened faith and changed lives. Even if you can’t attend all sessions of a class, you are welcome to come when you can. Visit the Adult Classes page.


ChristCare Small Groups

One of the most powerful ways to develop spiritual maturity along with deep friendship with other Christians is participation in a small group. Zion offers many small groups, and new ones form throughout the year. Groups meet regularly to study the Bible, pray together, share their lives with each other, and offer service to others. Contact Christine Carlsen for more information.

  • Ongoing Small Groups welcoming new members

    • Just for Moms - Meets 1st and 3rd Thursdays, 9:30 to 11 a.m. at Zion. Childcare provided. (Resumes Sept 17, 2009)

  • Small Group Leaders -- We have meetings for all current small group leaders. This is our ongoing opportunity for support, education, and accountability.


Retreats and Camps

Each year Zion offers a variety of retreat experiences – for men, women, couples, families – varying in length from ½ day to 2 ½ days. Retreats provide special settings for “getting away from it all” to concentrate on one’s faith and relationships.

Prayer Ministries

The Prayer Ministry hosts prayer meetings and encourages members to surround Zion's leadership and projects in prayer.

Prayer Chain - Become part of the prayer chain! No experience is necessary – just a desire to pray for others. Each Monday the prayer requests from the congregation are sent via e-mail or telephone to those on the prayer chain. You may have experienced a time in your own life when the powerful support of being surrounded by prayer helped you. You are invited to be part of this same power of prayer for others. Simply call 994-4455 (church office) to participate.
