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.

PROJECT HOPE AND HELPING HANDS: 15 YEARS OF MAKING A DIFFERENCE
The end of 2025 marked 15 years that Project Hope and Helping Hands has been making a difference in our communities and beyond. We have touched the lives of others through partnering with 325 organizations, many of them in multiple ways over the years. Through ingatherings of some things as simple as a bar of soap, a can of soup, and crayons we have touched lives, provided dignity, or provided a warm stomach and some enjoyment. Through ingatherings of homemade dishcloths, little dresses, menstrual pads and cancer care related pillows and pockets we have provided cleanliness, dignity, safety, and a warm hug in times of pain. Through donations of pennies and dollars we have provided pigs, dug wells for clean water, purchased shoes and medication providing a livelihood, putting food on a table, ensuring safe drinking water, ensuring childrens’ education and lifesaving health care. All this and much more over the last 15 years. This is not to say Yay, Us! but to say Yay, God! By being His hands and feet and trusting that little becomes much when placed in His hands, Penn-Zion’s and now Brush Creek have been a light to our neighbors and family here at home and around the globe. If you haven’t seen the list in the Social Hall at Penn-Zion’s, check it out as it is updated each year. If you want to become more involved in these ministries, want more information or have suggestions, please talk with Gwen.
Learn and Grow will meet monthly through the summer months. Stay tuned for the dates! They will be in the newsletter and here.

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

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.
