Who We Are

The Penn-Zion's Evangelical Lutheran Parish is a Word and Sacrament ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We work with Brush Creek Lutheran Church as a cooperative ministry to provide a full-time ministry to the people of our area. We would like to welcome you into our church family; and we invite you to worship the risen Lord with us and to share your gifts and talents in the ongoing work of Christ's church. Please contact our pastor if you have any questions  or need more information. 

We believe and teach that Christ is truly present in the breaking of the bread and in the sharing of the cup of Holy Communion. All who are baptized and commune in their own home congregation are invited to the Table of our Lord. Gluten free wafers are available at Zion's for any who have the need.

The Season of Lent

Mid week Lenten services will be held at 11:00 AM at Brush Creek and then in the evenings at 7:00 PM at Penn-Zion’s in Harrison City. This morning and evening worship schedule will be followed throughout the season of Lent. Please mark your calendars now to attend these weekly offerings of reflection and worship. This year’s theme is “Names and Titles Associated With Jesus'“.

Cancellations due to bad weather

Cancellations due to bad weather

With the possibility of still some wintery weather, there is always the question of if/when our Christian Education and/or worship activities will be cancelled. Here are our guidelines for both Penn-Zion’s and Brush Creek:

For our Christian Education activities, if the Penn-Trafford School District closes for the day, there will be NO Christian Education activity that day or evening. If the Penn-Trafford School District closes school early due to ice or snow, there will be no Christian Education that evening.

As for worship on Sunday morning, please tune in to KDKA and watch/listen for your congregation to be listed.

Penn-Zion’s and Brush Creek have separate listings with KDKA. Wednesday worship services tend to follow the Christian Education guideline above, but more often than not, Pastor Steiner will try to be present for the Wednesday evening services at Zion’s at 7:00 PM.

AS ALWAYS, IF YOU DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE COMING OUT IN INCLEMENT WEATHER

TO ANY OF OUR CHURCH ACTIVITIES, PLEASE BE SAFE AND STAY HOME.

THERE WILL BE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORSHIP, STUDY, AND FELLOWSHIP.

Easter Egg Hunt

All Children are invited to our annual Easter Egg Hunt . This year’s event will be held at the playground in Penn on Saturday, April 4th beginning at 1:00 PM. A very special thank you to Suzanne Dreistadt and family and all their helpers who are planning this special event! The children look forward to our “hunt” each year. If you are interested in helping, donating, or contributing to the Easter Egg Hunt, please contact Suzanne at (724)600-6493.

Social Ministries and Outreach

Our Social Ministries reflect our commitment to serving others through practical, Christ‑centered outreach. Through our Clothing Drive, we collect new and gently used items to support individuals and families in need; our ongoing Food Drive helps provide essential nourishment to local households facing food insecurity; and our partnership with Samaritan’s Purse for Operation Christmas Child allows us to share God’s love globally by packing shoebox gifts filled with hope for children around the world. This section highlights how our church works together to make a meaningful impact both locally and beyond.

Christian Education

Our Christian Education ministry is dedicated to nurturing the faith of our young people through meaningful teaching, fellowship, and hands‑on experiences. Our youth group gathers regularly for Bible-based lessons, service projects, special events, and activities that help students grow in their relationship with Christ while building strong, supportive friendships. This section highlights how we guide the next generation in understanding God’s Word, living out their faith, and discovering their place within the church and the wider community.

Calendar of Events

Our Calendar of Events provides an easy way to stay connected with everything happening in the life of our church. From worship services and ministry gatherings to youth activities, special events, and community outreach opportunities, this section helps you see what’s coming up and how you can be involved.

Lutheran Church Women (LCW)

As a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit.   We commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, our society and the world.

Together in Christ Stronger in Community
