HISTORY AND BELIEFS

Zion Lutheran Church was organized on March 13, 1872, from members from St. John’s (Eagle Lake) and St. Paul’s (Beecher). Under the direction of Rev. Herman Lossner, a dozen households formed the congregation which has grown and prospered through the years being faithful to God’s Word. Two acres of land were purchased then three more acres were added to comprise the plot where the church, parsonage and cemetery still reside. Fifteen faithful pastors were called to serve at Zion and spread the word of God over these last 150+ years. Of most recent, Pastor Estby accepted the call to serve in 2006 and continues to guide Zion’s congregation.

Zion Lutheran Church continues to proclaim God’s Word, rejoices in His great heritage, and grows in love for God and toward one another. To the world and by sight, we look like a bunch of everyday sinners. In light of His Word and by faith, we are the people of God—forgiven and redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ.
