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.
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.

A DAY-LONG STUDY OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
Sign up now to attend a day-long seminar on the United States Constitution. At the International Conference of Police Chaplains Annual Training Seminar last July, Pastor Steiner took a series of classes which certified him through Hillsdale College to teach an 7-8 hour class on the United States Constitution for Law Enforcement personnel and other groups. In this class, the entirety of the “Declaration of Independence” and the “United States Constitution” will be read with commentary and historical context provided by Pastor Steiner. In today’s United States of America when everyone is quoting the Constitution in support of or in protest against various issues, it behooves us as citizens to not only have read the Constitution in its entirety, but to understand the underlying historical context under which it was written and why it is framed the way it is. You may be surprised at what you learn in our time together.
This “Class/Seminar” will begin at 9:00 AM on Saturday, March 21st and end by 4:30 PM. Lunch and other refreshments will be served. We will meet at Penn-Zion’s in the Social Hall for comfort and convenience.
You are asked to sign up by Sunday, March 8th so teaching materials can be ordered on time. Friends and others from outside our Cooperative Ministry are invited, although we will limit the class size to the first 25 who sign up. If we run out of room for this class, there will be another opportunity provided at another time to be determined. Please direct any questions to Pastor Steiner.
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.
Together in Christ Stronger in Community
