Congratulations Pastor Rebecca Knox for 25 years of Ministry
You are Welcome, Loved & Accepted
Here at Zion Spies Evangelical Lutheran Church, we believe that religion is about more than just attending services or reading holy texts. It's about finding meaning and purpose in life, connecting with something greater than ourselves, and living with intention and compassion. Whether you're just starting to explore your spirituality or you've been on this journey for years, we invite you to join us and discover all that Zion Spies has to offer. Our community is warm, welcoming, and supportive, and we believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute.
