Ziegels Union Church

About this church

Ziegels Union Church in Breinigsville is home to two congregations—one affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the other with the United Church of Christ—that share the building, ministries, and expenses. Its published summer 2026 schedule has Union worship Sundays at 9:00 a.m. through August 30, with Communion indoors on first and third Sundays and some other services outdoors when weather permits. Sunday School runs September through May at 10:00. Because the worship pattern changes seasonally, visitors should check the current bulletin rather than assume the summer hour continues all year.

The Union arrangement dates to 1750, when Lutheran and German Reformed settlers dedicated a log church with a tile roof; “Ziegels” comes from the German word for tile. The present church was built in 1908 and later expanded for education and offices. Joint music includes adult choir, youth chimes, instrumentalists, and special holiday services. Monthly mission groups sew pillowcases for children’s hospitals, dresses, chemo-port cushions, prayer shawls, baptismal blankets, and quilts. The sewing group welcomes community participants, while the quilting group meets Monday mornings. Ziegels is at 9990 Ziegels Church Road.
