What Lutherans believe

  • In the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

  • The Bible is the inspired Word of God.

  • We are saved by grace alone – God’s free and undeserved gift, apart from any work or worth on our part

  • The crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus is the means of our salvation from sin and death

  • Baptism is the means of grace whereby God claims each of us in a relationship as a child of God

  • Holy Communion, a sacrament, is the means of grace whereby the believer encounters the very presence of Jesus Christ through bread and wine

  • That all Christians are called to ministry within the Church and throughout their daily lives (The Priesthood of All Believers)

We believe that God's love is freely given to us, apart from our deserving it. In response to that great love, we worship God, serve others, and share our faith.

We are a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, a Christian denomination of more than 8,400 worshipping communities across the 50 states and in the Caribbean region.
We are also part of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Synod, which is a gathering of 138 congregations in the Pittsburgh area.

Zion Lutheran Church is a place where all are welcome and grace is the guiding principle.
