Children's Ministry
"Let the little children come to me..."     - Jesus. 
We welcome and encourage children of any age to take part in the ministry of Zion. These young people are not "the future of the church" as some like to say. These young people ARE THE CHURCH! Their gifts and talents are God-given, and God works with these young people to make a difference in the world everyday!

Baptism

God has chosen and claimed each of us. Baptism is about acknowledging that and surrounding the child with a "cloud of witnesses"  (AAA Christians) that will all take part in passing on faith to that child. We all - parents, sponsors, other family, each member of the congregation - make promises to be faithful role models and mentors.  If you are interested in having your child baptized, please talk to Pastor Sue Eidahl or Lori Lang (Administrative Assistant) about choosing a date. 

Worship

We welcome families with young children to fully participate in worship! Children enhance the worship experience. They learn about worship by seeing their parents and other role models participating in worship. "Quiet time bags" are available to keep hands and minds occupied during worship, and a children's message is offered at non-communion services.

J-Team & Little Lutherans

This is our after-school program for K-6th grade youth. We enjoy the time together with snacks, games, learning about and practicing our faith, and building relationships together. The program is led by church staff and young adult volunteers committed to sharing their faith with children! Join every 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month, after school to 5:30pm! Please complete the registration form below.
