Historical Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church

Historical
Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church
This building at the north-east corner of 11th St. E and Eastlake Are
was originally built as a church by Lutherans of Norwegian origin soon after
they had organized as a congregation in a local home in 1919 with the name
of Trinity Lutheran Church. The name was changed to Zion Lutheran two
years later since another Trinity Lutheran Church, built by Lutherans of
German origin, already existed on the west side of Saskatoon. In 1948 a new
and larger Zion was completed at the foot of the Broadway Bridge In 1963,
the current even larger sanctuary, with meeting rooms below on two levels
and a gymnasium, was added to the north side of the 1948 building
This downtown location continues to serve as a welcoming church home
for people from many diverse backgrounds.

"Remembering to Serve"
"Praise the Lord... and remember all God's blessing" Ps. 103
This plague was installed and unveiled at the original location of the church
for the 100th Anniversary of the congregation on
June 29, 2019
