Overview
The mission of Zion is: Proclaiming Jesus as Savior, Serving Jesus as Lord.
We believe that God has given parents the primary responsibility to raise their children in “the nurture and admonition of the Lord”, so that they may be active participants in the mission of the Church.
In carrying out this responsibility, parents and children, together with the church, will feed on Christ through Word and Sacrament and serve Him in their daily lives.
Zion Lutheran School exists to help parents accomplish this. Zion ministers to the spiritual, social, intellectual, emotional and physical dimensions of students so that they may be effective, lifelong servants in the Lord's Kingdom.
At Messiah Lutheran School, we're here to bridge the gap between home and school by partnering with you to instill the values you desire for your child through a quality Christian education.
We promise to work with you to help your child flourish academically and emotionally.
