Beliefs and Practices

Some of Our Main Teachings:

  • The Bible is the Word of God.
  • Everyone is sinful and falls short of meeting God’s criteria for eternal life. (Romans 3:23)
  • Sinfulness is more than bad actions; it is a condition of rebelliousness toward God that we are born with. (Psalm 51:5)
  • Jesus died on the cross to take our punishment, and now we can have forgiveness of sins and eternal life with God through faith in Jesus.
  • Baptism is the way we get connected to the benefits Jesus won on the cross.
  • As saved people, we are called by God to live as disciples of Jesus and lead others to be disciples of Jesus.
  • We reach out to the people of our community and world because we love them and want them to go to heaven. That’s our only motivation.
  • Jesus is the only way to be right with God and have eternal life. If there would be another way, he would not have been crucified.

Zion is part of the LCMS (Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod).
