As we celebrate the rich history of our congregation, we pray that we may continue using our spiritual blessings, time, talents and treasure to serve the Lord.
Zion Lutheran Church was founded in 1891 by a group of faithful individuals and families who desired a Lutheran Church in the town of Wallingford. The incorporated name of the congregation was “The Zion Lutheran Evangelical Church of the Unaltered Augsburg Confession.” Over the years, however, people have come to know the church simply as “Zion Lutheran Church.”
In 1911 the congregation built the first church building which was located on the corner of Ward Street and Whittlesey Avenue. In time the members were faced with a need to expand, so they purchased a turkey farm, which was located on Pond Hill Road near the Wallingford-North Haven town line.
The six acres of land has provided more space for the congregation. A pavilion was constructed in 1971 near the woods. Over the years it has been used for the annual church picnic as well as summer outdoor worship services. Plans for the new church building were drawn up and in 1977, the congregation moved to its present location on Pond Hill Road. In 1986 the Voters’ Assembly of the church approved the ministry of a preschool as a mission outreach, calling it “Little Zion Preschool.” In 1987 a playground was started for the children, which has grown with added equipment to provide for a wonderful outdoor experience.
By 1998 a multi-purpose education wing was built and dedicated, providing two early-childhood classrooms, Director’s Office, teacher workroom, Sunday School classrooms, a Youth Room, a Library/Conference Room, and a Sunday School Office. The addition was built to match the existing structure, providing a beautiful facility.
We Believe That:
God is the Holy Trinity. God the Father sent His Son to rescue and restore a fallen creation. The Holy Spirit is our helper and comforter.
The Word of God, Holy Baptism and Holy Communion are the means by which God delivers His gifts to us.
Christian education is important. We provide many opportunities to grow in God’s grace.
Zion Lutheran Church has been a member of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod since 1891. To learn more about the Missouri Synod, please visit the LCMS website at https://www.lcms.org
