ABOUT US

Our Mission: "We exist to reach out and offer people a life-changing relationship committed to Jesus Christ and to one another."

Our Beginnings: The first official service held at Zion was on Sunday, September 20, 1942. Zion's first building was located in a converted house down the street from Main Street in Pasadena. On August 26, 1951, Zion held the dedication service for the "newly" constructed church on Main Street. New buildings were added throughout the years at this location. In September 1955, the Day School's first classes were held.

Joyful Journey: In 1999, after many prayers and much study, the decision was made to relocate. Through a special spiritual renewal time, Zion chose "Joyful Journey - Moved to Serve" as words to guide and lead the congregation during the transition time. Thirty-two acres were purchased at Beltway 8 South and Crenshaw in south Pasadena. Our sister congregation, Good Shepherd of Pasadena, graciously allowed Zion to move the school into it's facilities until our buildings would be completed. Worship continued on Main St. until the property sold. Arrangements were made to rent two sections in a vacant strip mall at Pasadena Blvd. and Beltway 8. and these were hastily remodeled into a beautiful worship center and education center.

Our Present Journey: We began worshiping at Lutheran South Academy (LSA) in June 2004 as we temporarily suspended operation of our school and partnered with LSA for the education of our students. We broke ground on our new multipurpose facility in April 2007 and dedicated the building to the glory of God on Sunday, April 27, 2008. We invite you to come and check out the exciting things that are happening at Zion.
