      Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church

New Jersey's oldest Lutheran congregation's first service was
conducted on August 1, 1714, by the Reverend Justus Falckner, the
first protestant minister ordained in America. It was held in the
home of Aree Van Guinee, a freed slave, who later contributed land
for the first church and a glebe for the pastor.

Baltes Pickel, who also attended the first service, built the first
church and contributed generously to construction of the current
church in 1749.

The Reverend Henry Muhlenberg, "Patriarch of the Lutheran Church
in America," and two sons later served as pastors.

A royal charter was granted in 1767.

God's steadfast love endures forever, and his
faithfulness to all generations (Psalm 100:5)

   Erected by the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New Jersey, 2014
