The mission of Zion is: Proclaiming Jesus as Savior, Serving Jesus as Lord.
We believe that God has given parents the primary responsibility to raise their children in “the nurture and admonition of the Lord”, so that they may be active participants in the mission of the Church.
In carrying out this responsibility, parents and children, together with the church, will feed on Christ through Word and Sacrament and serve Him in their daily lives.
Zion Lutheran School exists to help parents accomplish this. Zion ministers to the spiritual, social, intellectual, emotional and physical dimensions of students so that they may be effective, lifelong servants in the Lord's Kingdom.
