Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church

About this church

Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Freeland, Michigan, is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) at 545 7th Street. Sunday worship is held at 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., with a single 9:30 a.m. service from June through August, and a Wednesday gathering is listed at 7 p.m. Worship can also be streamed online for those who cannot attend in person. The church says Lutherans gather around Word and Sacrament, and it invites first-time visitors, whatever their church background, to come and see.

The congregation's history goes back to 1931, when a small group of Lutherans began meeting for worship in borrowed spaces. Members built their own sanctuary in the 1930s, and it was dedicated in 1935. The church describes its values as an open mind, an open heart, and an open table, and says questions and doubt are welcome. Zion belongs to the North/West Lower Michigan Synod and to ELCA Saginaw, a partnership of six local congregations that collaborate on ministries serving neighbors and gather for shared worship at least once a year. The website includes a newsletter sign-up, an offering page, a calendar, and a page on what to expect for first-time guests. Confirm times on the website.
