SINCE 1912
Zion Lutheran Church in Ashippun was established in 1912 and was located in a historic brick building until 1989 when the congregation broke ground on the new building we are in today. Efforts were made by longtime members to preserve the history of the original church within the new building. Today Zion's sanctuary is home to the original altar, the classrooms bear the names of our founding families, and the fellowship hallway is lined with photos of past confirmation classes. Times have changed for our little church but God has been faithful to our little congregation and there is still so much yet ahead!
We are currently between Pastors. Summer Worship will be presided over by various Supply Pastors. We hope to put forth a call in the Fall.
Zion Lutheran is a part of the ELCA and a member of the Greater Milwaukee Synod.
We believe in reaching out to the community and helping those in need as a vital part of the Christian life. Zion provides opportunities to attendees to participate in worship, education classes, and fellowship, while learning more about God's word and His call for us to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those in our community and the world. We are active supporters of our local food pantry, sponsors to friends far away, and volunteers in service in the community.
Every year on the 1st Sunday in October, Zion hosts Oktoberfest complete with a band and food. We celebrate our German heritage with music and the polka!
Zion's community loves to host events and learn new things. Every two months or so we host a community night and invite others to attend to learn a craft and gather together. For more details see the events page!
Every couple of months Zion hosts gatherings with a theme. The Friendship Breakfasts are a time to fellowship and be a little silly. But really who needs an excuse to get together with friends?
We are a part of a two point Parish with Cross Lutheran Church in Ixonia and we share our worship space with Holy Name of Jesus which is a Evangelical Catholic Church.
