About

The history of Zion Lutheran Church dates back to the year 1830 when German immigrants from various parts of the Old Country formed a settlement in Liverpool Township, Medina County, Ohio.  Sectarian ministers would from time to time visit the German settlement in Liverpool, preach, and conduct divine services.  However, this did not satisfy the spiritual needs of the settlers.  Being God fearing and God loving people, they longed to have a pastor of their own.  Finally in September of 1834, by the gracious direction of God, the first Lutheran pastor, Rev. Emmanuel Metzger, a native of Wurttemburg, arrived in Liverpool.  Their prayer had been heard, their wishes granted, and they were happy and thankful people.
