Zion has been a part of the Lyndale community since 1893.  We are proud of our heritage as a Scandinavian Lutheran church, and have many long-time members who grew up in this church.  We celebrate our roots every year at our anniversary in the spring, and our annual Meatball Dinner in the fall.

While we value and respect tradition, we are not limited by it.   Like the pioneers who started this church, we are not afraid to embark on new challenges as the Spirit leads us.  Our most important tradition is that of bold action based on faith.

We are committed to our urban neighborhood, and issues related to fair housing.  We started ZOOM House, a transitional housing program for single parents, in 1997.  The ZOOM House apartments and programs provide housing for those in need, and tools for these families to transition from homelessness to more stable domestic situations.

We have been active members in the Lyndale Neighborhood Association, and have ties to many ecumenical and social organizations in our neighborhood.  We are always looking for ways to strengthen and increase these ties.

The YMCA has an active program at their location on Blaisdell Avenue. For more information, visit the YMCA website.
