Celebrating the Gospel of Jesus Christ: Believing, Witnessing, Teaching, Sharing, and Serving with all.
Zion is a congregation of the
ELCIC
Evangelical Lutheran Church In Canada
​
​
We are in full communion with The Anglican Church of Canada. We join with Emmaus Anglican often and our Pastor shepherds Christ Church Anglican as well as Zion.
Jumalanpalvelus
St. Mary's Finnish Lutheran merged with Zion in 2010. During transition, services in Finnish were held monthly at Upton Road. Now, our pastor and a church musician conduct services at the Ontario Finnish Rest Home complex about every 2 months. Services are usually at Kotitalo. Contact Pastor Brad for upcoming dates and more information.

Our Sunday worship includes
prayer, music and singing, scripture, a sermon, the sharing of peace, (greeting each other) and communion within a sung liturgical setting.
All who are baptized in the name of the Triune God, - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are welcome to receive Holy Communion including persons of other traditions.
​
We use the continuous method of Communion. The bread and wine are offered in front of the altar. Currently, since Covid, the wine is presented in a tray of individual cups. There is also a tray of grape juice in individual cups. Children are very welcome at the table.
Communion Assistants will take the bread and wine around the sanctuary for those who are unable to come forward so they may commune in their seat.
Non-communing individuals are invited to come forward to receive a blessing.
We are Lutheran.
Our Sunday morning begins with announcements from a member of our Church Council about the life and work of congregation followed by a prayer for peace in our troubled world, and the acknowledgement of the Robinson Huron Territory on which we stand.
Indigenous Rights and Relationships
As a congregation, we acknowledge that we are in Robinson-Huron Treaty Territory and that the land on which we are gathered is the traditional territory of the Anishinabek & Métis people.
Liberated by God’s Grace, the ELCIC encourages all members and congregations to reflect upon our own national and church history, to seek greater understanding of the issues facing Indigenous peoples, and to walk with Indigenous peoples in their ongoing efforts to exercise their inherent sovereignty and fundamental human rights.
