Zion Church was founded in 1853 with a parcel of land deeded to the Church of the United Brethren in Christ from John and Mary Schoonover. In 1894, the present brick church was built. The education addition was completed in 1963 and was funded by church members who farmed several acres of corn, wheat and soybeans.

Zion became an Evangelical United Brethren Church with the 1946 merger. In 1968, the E.U.B. conference merged with the Methodist Conference to become the United Methodist Church.

In 1981, members worked together to strip, stain and varnish all the original woodwork in the sanctuary. The facelift included painted walls, new carpet and new drapes.

In 1993, Zion celebrated our 140th anniversary. The event was celebrated with the phrase "standing at the crossroads". While Zion's membership respects the traditions of those that founded the church over a century ago, we continue to move forward with our ministry and keeping with the times. This was evident in 2004 when the church introduced a contemporary worship service which caters to a younger demograpic while maintaining the traditional worship service.

Currently, we are raising money to construct a new building which will allow us to expand our ministry and include acitivites to further worship.

Zion has always been in ministry to the people in our community. Zion has responded to needs including food, clothing and related emergencies. The church is also open as a community center to a variety of groups such as 4-H, boy scouts, religious education and school events.

Our rich heritage of faithful Christians serves as our foundation as we seek to serve our Lord and Savior.
