Whether you're long-time

families of Zion invite you
to discover for yourself the joy and comfort
that comes from knowing God's plan, not just for
your life here on earth, but forever.
Come and see! Join us for
worship services or

joining a membership class. Our basic worship schedule is

Our
regular weekend worship services are
held on Saturday nights at 6:00 or

(from Memorial Day to Labor Day), we
have Saturday night services at
6:00, Sunday mornings at 8:00 and

We also have special worship

If
you're new to the South
Milwaukee area, you may be
looking for a new
doctor,
dentist,
school,
store,
bank,
church,
and more. You may also be
frustrated and lonely
because moving to a new town
means finding new friends.
At Zion, we're a whole
family of Christian
friends. If we can help you
get acquainted, find your
way around, and locate the
community services you need,
please call on us. Someone
in our family lives
near your family.

| Our
Purpose |
.
To Glorify God
God
tells us in the Bible that our
purpose in life is to give glory to
Him in all that we say and do. Every
function of our church has this one
purpose.
To
Preach Christ
Our
sole function as a church is the
proclaiming of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ as it is revealed in God's
inspired Word, the Bible. Ours is
not a social or political task -- it
is a spiritual task of reaching
individual souls with the Good News
of God's love and salvation through
faith in Christ Jesus. We hope you
will join us!
"I
rejoiced with those who said to me,
'Let us go into the house of the
Lord.'"
Psalm
122:1

| Our
Teaching |
.
We believe and teach the basic
truths of historic Christianity:
-
that mankind is God's creation;
that man was created good and
holy, but by his own choice fell
into sin; that we are all sinful
and helpless to save ourselves
-
that Jesus Christ is the true
Son of God; that he was sent
into the world as true man; that
as the substitute for all
sinners he lived and died and
rose from death in victory
-
that because of Christ's
suffering and death in our
place, God has forgiven our sins
and given us the gift of eternal
life
-
that we are saved only through
faith in Jesus Christ, the
Redeemer of all sinners
-
that the Holy Spirit, by means
of the Gospel, creates saving
faith in Jesus and leads us to a
life of God-pleasing good works,
done out of joyful gratitude and
love for God
-
that the Bible, in every part
and every work, is the inspired
Word of God, without any error;
that it is the only revelation
of God's saving truth to
mankind, and therefore is our
only standard of what to believe
and how to live

teach, please click

"This We Believe." It's available in
several different languages.

| Our
Program |
.
Since
"faith comes from hearing the
message, and the message is heard
through the Word of Christ"
(Romans 10:17), our program centers
on the teaching, preaching, and
sharing of this saving Word of God.
Worship Services
The Bible tells us of our need to
come together to worship God and to
hear His Word for our spiritual and
eternal welfare. We therefore have
worship services every weekend and
many special services throughout the
year.
Christian Education
The Lord has commanded His church to
teach His followers to "obey
everything I have commanded you"
(Matthew 28:20). Therefore we
provide these opportunities to learn
about Jesus and from Jesus:
