Zion’s Red Church - serving families since 1755!

We are not a stuffy museum lingering the past. We are a spiritually vibrant community of faith. We have entered into a purposeful renewal to explore and experiment with new ways of worship, faith formation, stewardship, hospitality and service. We seek to be a vital community of faith and a place for mission in the community. Every week something special is happening at ZRC!

All are invited to join us in our intensive spiritual renewal that continues through June. A Renewal Guide is available, featuring a plan for daily scripture readings and weekly spiritual practices. In addition, discussion around these practices will occur at 9:15 AM Sunday mornings. Anyone interested is invited to participate. We will be intentionally seeking God’s desire for us individually, as a church body, and our place of service in the community.

Creative and interactive elements are a part of all our worship services Sunday worship begins each week at 10:30 AM. to help us to focus on weekly scripture readings. Also, various members present Children’s messages. Sometimes we feature a member who will share their faith story, how God has made a difference in their life.
