Zion Lutheran, Leola, PA has been serving the community and beyond since 1817. In 2001, the congregation moved from its location at the corner of Route 23 and Heller's Church Road to a new site and building at 18 Quarry Road, Leola, PA 17540. Many people have said, "This is not your typical Lutheran congregation ".  We are not exactly sure what that means but we do believe Zion is a place where everybody is somebody and Jesus is Lord.  We are learning to live out the marks of discipleship each day: Prayer, Worship, Reading the Bible, Service, Giving, and Relationships (PoWeR SuRGe).

Who We Are:

We are a Lutheran Church, member of the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America), that believes:

•  The Bible is God's Word, without error in the original manuscripts.

•  God is one God eternally existing in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

•  Jesus is both fully God and fully human, who by His death on the cross has redeemed us.

•  The Holy Spirit's gifts are available and operative today for all Christians.

•  Human nature is sinful and is redeemed only through faith in Jesus Christ.

•  Salvation is a free gift provided by Christ alone, that we receive by grace through faith.

•  We are a part of one true Church made up of all who believe in Christ as Lord.

•  Prayers are heard and answered.

•  Jesus instituted Holy Baptism and the Lord's Supper (Communion). That God truly acts in these sacraments and that our faith is essential for their effectiveness.

•  Becoming a Christian leads to a changed life, that is a lifelong process of growth.

•  That all those who are baptized into Christ have a part in God's mission to the world.

•  We best embody Christ when we work together!
