What To Expect

Zion’s location couldn’t be more convenient! Nestled at the corner of High Street and Columbus Street, it’s easy to reach whether you’re coming from a residential neighborhood or the heart of the business district.

 Public Transit Friendly: Right on a bus line, so folks from anywhere in the city can make it over with ease.

 Parking Details:

  • Street parking available on High, Columbus, Pearl, Kossuth, and Frankfort streets
  • Handicapped parking is located behind the church, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance to the elevator

 Entrances:

  • Front entrance for a traditional welcome
  • Rear entrance for convenient access from the parking area

 When you arrive for Bible class, head straight for the elevator and take it down to the lower level—welcome to the Fellowship Hall! 

 Hospitality Corner: In the kitchen area next to the Fellowship Hall, you’ll find coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and doughnuts thoughtfully prepared for adults. It’s the perfect place to mingle and ease into the morning.

 Class Time: Both adult and children’s classes begin at 9:30 A.M., so there's something for every age group. 

Whether you're an early riser or prefer a later start, Zion's Sunday worship schedule offers two opportunities to gather—8:00 A.M. and 10:30 A.M. in the main-level Sanctuary.

 Accessibility Made Easy:

  • Four stairways lead to the Sanctuary
  • Elevator access is also available for added convenience

 Midweek Worship:

  • Wednesday evenings at 7:00 P.M.
  • First Wednesday: Divine Service with Holy Communion
  • Other Wednesdays: Peaceful Compline Service, followed by Bible Study in the Fellowship Hall

Private Confession and Absolution are available in Pastor Hromowyk's office on Wednesdays between 6:15 and 6:45 P.M.   

 From the moment you enter the sanctuary at Zion, a warm welcome awaits. Two ushers and an Elder will be stationed at the entrance to the Nave (the pew area), ready to help you find a seat and answer any questions about the service.

 Bulletin Options:

  • Condensed Version: Great for seasoned attendees familiar with the flow
  • Large Format Bulletin: Contains the full order of service and hymns—perfect for newcomers adjusting to the rhythm
  • Children’s Bulletin: Specially designed for our youngest worshippers to follow along and engage

Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, Zion ensures everyone can participate with comfort and clarity.

 At Zion, families are warmly welcomed into every service, and children are embraced as part of the worshiping community. While formal childcare isn’t provided, thoughtful spaces are available to support parents during service.

Family-Friendly Accommodations:

  • A cry room is located at the back of the Nave, offering a quiet retreat while still staying connected to the service through in-room speakers.
  • A nearby Family Room also features audio from the service, giving parents a peaceful alternative setting if needed.
  • For convenience, a changing table is available in the restroom adjacent to the Family Room.

 Communion is offered at both Sunday services at Zion, as a meaningful part of worship and spiritual connection.

 If you're not a confirmed member of a Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS), Zion kindly asks that you speak with an Elder or Pastor Hromowyk before participating in Communion. This helps ensure that all participants understand and honor the church's beliefs surrounding the sacrament.
