A rich, long history.

Zion has been a place of worship and ministry since 1903. Immigrant families from Norway at the turn of the 20th century wanted a church to hear God's word in Norwegian, where they could gather to give praise to God and preserve their culture in a new country. Since 1903, Zion (first named Immanuel Lutheran near Custer, WA) has continued to change and grow. The congregation first met in members' homes, then in a schoolhouse and finally in their own church building constructed in 1909. At certain points in its history, Zion has been a part of multi-point or two-point parishes, sharing a pastor with other congregations. A wonderful history of Zion's life was written in honor of the congregation's 100th anniversary and is available by calling the church office.

Zion Lutheran Church: One Hundred Years of God's Grace was written in 2003 by local historian Bob Ogmundson.
