School History From the early years of the congregation, Christian Education was important to the members of Zion congregation. The school was organized to provide children of the congregation with a firm basis for their life. Religion along with other basic skills were taught so that all could lead a useful life for their Savior. "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6. Our first teacher, Mr. Emil Ernst, was called from the seminary in Addison, Illinois in 1912. Our first school was reconstructed from the first church building. It was located just west of the Church and was used for Confirmation instruction until 1941, when it was sold and moved. In 1915 the present school site was purchased and the cornerstone laying of the school was held on August 15, 1920. In 1977, a new building containing two classrooms, an office, a gym and shower rooms, kitchen and storage was constructed north of the school building. The gym serves as lunch room and is used for physical education classes. Gatherings and meetings too large for the church basement are able to meet in the gym. |
