Mount Zion Leadership
Our Church thrives because of the energy and style of the people who are a part of our leadership. Here are a few of the people that make our church community special:
David Clark - Pastor
From 1973 until 2021, Pastor Dave found a variety of ways to serve the Lord.
Unfortunately for us, The Lord decided to call him home in September, 2021 and we are in the call process to find another pastor.
Choir Leaders:
The Choir is now led by Felicia Steinour, Kathy Hoffman and our organist, Debbie Drobenak.
Mount Zion Choir
The Mt. Zion Choir is a group of enthusiastic singers who practice weekly on Thursday evenings at 7:00 PM. Each Sunday the choir leads the congregation in hymns and special music during the worship service, with Organist Debbie Drobenak. The choir also sings for other special events and is invited to sing at other churches for special programs.
One Sunday each month the Mt. Zion choir is joined by several members of our sister church, Upper Bermudian Lutheran, Ground Oak. The choir is on vacation during the months of July, August and some Sundays in September. During these months we have a more casual contemporary worship service with special music guests from other churches or our own parish providing selections in place of an anthem.
If you enjoy praising God with your voice in song, come join us some Thursday evening @ 7:00 PM. No need to be able to read music or be solo material….just a desire to praise God and make a joyful noise.

Mount Zion Council
Members of Council meet the third Tuesday of every month to discuss the concerns of the congregation, to approve bills, and to discuss finances, to name a few. Committee reports are presented from the various groups in the church, as well as financial reports from the Treasurer. The pastor reports on the news of the Synod and also news from the monthly Pastors Meetings, which he attends.
Anyone is welcome to attend these meetings to learn what Council is all about or to present an idea for them to consider.
Council members serve a three year term when elected with new elections being held in December when a member(s) is leaving Council. Membership is open to all church members and new faces are always welcome to join!
2021 Members: Bill Bechtel (president), Felicia Steinour (VP), Dee Thomas (secretary), Keith Malinosky, Keith Snyder, Nan Helm, Kathryn Bear, Danielle Lenker (Treasurer), Jenny Malinosky (Recording Secretary).
