Worship
Sundays at 9am
In worship, Jesus is really presentāfeeding, healing, and making us new in love, for the sake of the world.
Worship is relaxed and inclusive, with room for kids and their wiggles. Some Sundays the choir sings and the organ plays. Other Sundays the praise ensemble makes a joyful noise. Every Sunday, we feast at the Lordās table of forgiveness and life.

Welcome!
a word from our Pastor
Welcome to Zion! Iām glad youāre here. It can be stressful to seek a new spiritual home. But donāt be afraid. Your deepest self, hidden in Christ with God, is guiding you.
I was drawn to Zion because of peoplesā open, trusting spirit and heart for this neighborhood.
Come and see. Maybe God has prepared a place for you here too.
Pastor Clark Olson-Smith
Sacred Listening
a time to listen to God, each other, and neighbors
Zion people have listened to God through Immerse, reading the New Testament together. And now Zionās Season of Sacred Listening turns to listening to each other.
During the season of Easter, a team of 14 specially trained Zion people will reach out to 150+ Zion people to listen one-on-one. Donāt be surprised when a sister or brother in Christ asks to listen to you! They will ask only for your time, trust, and story. Say yes to a natural but uncommon conversation!
Why listen?
To regather Zion and rebuild relationships and a sense of community "after" the pandemic.
To discover what God is calling Zion to do, be, or change in this new chapter.
