Who we are
Zion is a community rooted in a rich heritage, inspired by great music, and filled with the love of Jesus. A presence in the Hummelstown community since 1753 Zion seeks to lift up the name of Jesus as well as to offer ministry that lifts up the community, the individual, and the world. We are a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) one of the largest Lutheran bodies in the country. We confess the Triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In our preaching and teaching we trust the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe.
As a congregation of the ELCA, we affirm the ELCA’s official Confession of Faith which identifies the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, (commonly called the Bible), the Apostles’, Nicene and Athanasian Creeds, and the Lutheran confessional writings in the Book of Concord as the basis for our teaching.

Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church History
With us night and morning
By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered, and confidently waiting come what may, we know that God is with us night and morning, and never fails to greet us each new day. Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented, still evil days bring burdens hard to bear; Oh, give our frightened souls the sure salvation for which, O Lord, You taught us to prepare. And when this cup You give is filled to brimming with bitter suffering, hard to understand, we take it thankfully and without trembling, out of so good and so beloved a hand. Yet when again in this same world You give us the joy we had, the brightness of Your Sun, we shall remember all the days we lived through, and our whole life shall then be Yours alone.
