Mission Statement of Zion Lutheran Church
We are a community of faith, sharing Christ's
love, serving all people.
"We are a community of faith" We are
held together by one Lord, one faith, one baptism. Though we are a diverse
people, faith in Jesus unites us.
"sharing Christ's love" We are
blessed by Christ's love to be a blessing to others. Our mission includes
sharing what God has given us, ourselves, our time, our possessions, signs of
God's love.
"serving all people." We welcome and
serve all people, without distinction.
We are an ELCA congregation
in the Metropolitan New York Synod.
