Our Mission

We are a welcoming, caring community, called by Christ and enabled by the spirit, to share God’s love by living our faith.

This is Mount Zion’s Mission Statement. You will find copies of it scattered around Mount Zion’s building….at the front and rear doors, in the fellowship and meeting rooms.

It is a living statement - a constant reminder to all - of why we are here as a church and an organization.  It’s also our members’ way of saying you will always find a welcome at Mount Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Our congregation is a member of the Eastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada. The ELCIC, in turn, is part of a worldwide family of Lutherans that keep in touch with themselves and other churches through organizations like the Lutheran World Federation, the Canadian Council of Churches, and the World Council of Churches.

There are more than 600 ELCIC congregations in Canada, each with its own personality. But all share beliefs that are based on the teachings of Martin Luther, a l6th century Augustinian priest. Back then, Luther wasn’t trying to start a denomination, but to reform his church. However, his teaching and preaching sparked something that became the Protestant Reformation.
