Pastor
Jaren Summers

Welcome! I am glad you are here! As the pastor of Zion Lutheran Church, I seek to preach and teach all that I can about God's love for all people. For most of my life, I wanted nothing to do with Christianity. I avoided church with every fiber of my being. Then, one day, I walked into a Lutheran Church and everything changed. I encountered God's love in ways I had never before experienced. I was hooked. After several years, I was called to be a pastor. I attended Trinity Lutheran Seminary at Capital University where I earned my Master of Divinity (M.Div.) I was ordained as a pastor shortly thereafter and presently serve as the pastor here at Zion. I share all this because God has done increidble things in my life and I have seen God do incredible things in the lives of others. My calling is to help others encounter our gracious God by preaching the Gospel and walking with all who I come into contact with. 

I would love to meet you and hear your story! Whether we meet at church, in a coffee shop, on the street, or at the diner, it would be my great honor to hear your story and learn how God is moving in your life. Whether you have ever set foot in a church before or not, know that you are welcome here.
