Upper Bermudian Lutheran Parish

Welcome!

Welcome to the Upper Bermudian Lutheran Parish. We are made up of two congregations – Mt. Zion Lutheran Church and Upper Bermudian Lutheran Church (Ground Oak).

Currently we have only one Worship Service each week, starting at 10:30 am and alternating between each church.
