Welcome to Zion

 

Zion Lutheran Church has been sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in the heart of Long Valley, New Jersey since 1760. Zion is a small, vibrant and caring congregation that warmly welcomes visitors.

Join us for Sunday worship

 

We gather for worship at 9:30AM and during the school year and at 9AM from Memorial Day – Labor Day.  We also live-stream one service via our YouTube channel.

Community!

We enjoy getting together for food and fellowship through congregational dinners, potlucks, Lenten soup suppers, etc…   “Care” and “community” are two words that well describe Zion.

We care about children and youth

We like to say that youth aren’t the future of the church, they are our present. (pictured: VBS closing program)
