"To Proclaim the Joy of Salvation Through Word and Sacrament"

​​​Who We Are

Many faces, one faith.


We are a diverse group of believers – bankers, musicians, social workers, teachers, public servants, business owners, parents  – united by our shared faith in a loving God. 

Zion's Mission:

Zion Lutheran Church

​Zion Lutheran Church, a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Northeast Minnesota Synod, was founded in 1912. Our Church has been located at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Sixth Street here in International Falls for over 100 years. In the past, as in the future, our life as a community of faith is centered in Word and Sacrament. We gather regularly for worship with an order of confession so that no sin might stand between God and us.  Our sense of community is strengthened as we welcome others into our fellowship, through baptism or affirmation of their baptismal covenant.
