What does it mean to become a member of Zion United Church of Christ?
Perhaps you have been visiting for awhile and want to make Zion your spiritual home. Perhaps you feel God is calling you to deeper commitment. Consider becoming a member of our family of faith.

What makes membership different from being a visitor or simply a friend of Zion?
We want you to know you are welcome here as a visitor, friend, or member. Members, however, kick up their commitment by entering into covenant with other members. It’s part of our UCC heritage. A covenant is a living promise to be in relationship and to be about God’s work in the world. No longer simply a visitor, you seek to share in covenant with others, to welcome other visitors, and seek an even deeper journey into faith.

What is this covenant? What is asked of me as a member?
Our covenant describes the commitments we share — a way of discipleship and hope. Members also join together to discern God’s future for our congregation by the right to vote in congregational meetings. No longer a visitor and simply receiving an extravagant welcome, you also are called to offer your prayers, your presence, your gifts, talents and contributions. In some ways, you are moving from being just a guest by sharing the gift of being a good host to others.

Our Covenant

We covenant with one another to seek and respond to the word and the will of God.  We purpose to walk together in the ways of the Lord, known and to be made known to us.  We depend on the Holy Spirit to lead and empower us.  We pray for the coming of the Kingdom of God, and we look with faith toward the triumph of righteousness and eternal life.
