History
When Hurricane Ike devastated Zion’s ministry facilities in 2008, the congregation repaired and renovated the church building; they reopened in November 2009 with a new commitment to worship and to serve the community.
Even with this resolve, the lasting impact of the devastating storm on the Galveston community meant that the Zion membership could not sustain its mission as a neighborhood church, and required the congregation to explore new ways for the property to continue to be used for Lutheran ministry.
Seeking a path to ensure their hard work and commitment to their ministry would not go to waste, members of the congregation
Zion is renewed as of the completion of the renovation in Winter 2016. Zion Retreat Center, a retreat and conference center with a ministry that includes summer camp, programmed retreats, family reunions, congregation council retreats and other groups seeking a venue for ministry and other activities.
