Discover Evangelical Lutheran Church

At 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 Evangelical Lutheran Church has to offer. Our community is warm, welcoming, and supportive, and we believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute.

On Wednesday, November 20 at 3 p.m., Bear Creek Camp Director Colin Grooms will visit Zion-Spies Lutheran Church in Lower Alsace Township to see the congregation's 28 acre property and explore the possibility of expanding Outdoor Ministry programming at the site in the future. Colin will be walking the property at 1 p.m. sharing his insights, experience and some best practice examples of how other sites have succeeded, failed, and live outdoor ministry.


Anyone interested in exploring the future possibilities is invited to attend this meeting.  The Zion-Spies congregation just celebrated its 250th Anniversary on October 27th and has worked to expand programming this past summer. Repairs were made to the cabin on the property. A Witness and Service grant fueled 7 days of Summer Day Camp in partnership with Christ Lutheran Church, Reading and Widoktadwen Center for Native Knowledge in bringing city kids to the woods, experiencing gardening and native plants, and learning about the 7 Grandfather Teachings of Indigenous people.


Thank you, Pastor Knox
