Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Zion Lutheran Church was organized on June 14, 1852. Up until 1988, Zion had been part of the American Lutheran Church (ALC) becoming an ELCA affiliated church in 1988. Since our formation, we have had 13 pastors and 1 Deacon as our shepherd, 19 assistants and 35 sons of the congregation becoming pastors. Zion established give daughter congregations in the area. In 1891, a German Lutheran Parochial School was formed and eventually sold to Sandusky City Schools. We have attended services in 4 buildings over the years: our current location since 1899. The first English services were held in 1912.

One of our community service projects is our Community Thanksgiving Day Dinner. We have partnered with Holy Angels Catholic Church for over 40 years in providing a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner to the local community, adding delivery and take out options in recent years. We've also had several unity services with the Congregational Church and Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church as we share this intersection. May the Holy Spirit keep guiding and supporting us as we share God's love with our fellow children of God's creation.
