History |
Zion was founded in 1745. Some say it may be the oldest Lutheran congregation in Lexington County; we are certainly one of the oldest in the state. Zion is part of the ELCA — the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America — which resulted from a union of three North American Lutheran church bodies. The ELCA has over 10,000 congregations and nearly five million baptized members. |
