Zion Lutheran Church

About this church

Zion Lutheran Church is a rural Lutheran congregation at 5831 Grundy Road outside Hudson, less than ten miles from Cedar Falls. A member of Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ, Zion teaches salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and receives the Old and New Testaments as God's inspired Word. Worship begins each Sunday at 9 a.m. and is also streamed live. Fellowship and Sunday School or confirmation follow; the youth page gives 10:30 a.m. for Sunday School during the school year, with no class on Easter.

Zion's official history reaches back to its organization in 1878, when services were held in German and the pastor also taught local children. The congregation later built a one-room school, served farming families who sometimes walked to worship to rest their horses, and marked its 125th anniversary in 2003. Today children's programming includes school-year Sunday classes, confirmation for sixth- and seventh-graders, and Vacation Bible School. Visitors can expect a small, historically rooted country church with a current livestream, a welcoming posture toward different backgrounds, and an explicit call to Christian service marked by kindness, respect, and dignity.
