LCMS Singles…
“It’s becoming obvious to all of us in the older generation — parents and grandparents — that it is increasingly difficult for young people to meet and connect,” said the Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller, pastor at St. Paul Lutheran Church and Jesus Lutheran Church of the Deaf in Austin, TX. Wolfmueller has done significant work sharing Lutheran theology online. Singles in The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) looking to find their spouse within the church are often stymied because there are “just very few Lutheran singles that are concentrated in one spot,” he explained.

Many LCMS singles agree with his assessment. Matt Nitsch, 28, a technical support specialist in Sheboygan, Wis., concurred: “If you ask a lot of [young LCMS] people, [they will say] they’re the only person their age from their church.” In Nitsch’s congregation, he says, there are “maybe five people within my age range, and two of them are married to each other.”

Zion’s Annual Budget Meeting June 21st 

On Sunday, June 21 at 9:15 we will present the 2026–27 congregational budget. Zion operates on a fiscal year that runs July 2026 through June 2027. We encourage all voting members to attend so they can better understand the financial commitments being made for the upcoming ministry budget, and how our collective giving supports those commitments. 

This upcoming budget was developed with input from 12 boards and leaders: Elders, Events Committee, Financial Secretary, Human Resources Committee, Music Ministry, Pastor & Admin Office, Preschool, Sunday School, Long-Term Planning, Treasurer, and Trustees.
