Our Team

Welcome! I am glad you are here! My name is Jaren Summers and I became the pastor of Zion in 2024. I am passionate about God and what He has done for us. My calling is to preach and teach all that I can about God's grace and love for all people. I was not always a Lutheran, and there was a long stretch when I was not even a Christian, but God has done incredible things in my life and I have seen God do incredible things in the lives of others. I can attest to the fact that we have a Creator who loves us deeply, cares for us, and walks with us every day of our lives.

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 and that my door is always open to providing a listening ear. I am here for you.
