Thanks to the many donations that were given, we are happy to announce that the beam that supports our steeple has been repaired - Phase 1 of our steeple project is now complete! 

​

With the stability of the steeple restored, Phase 2 of the project is scheduled to begin this spring.  Due to age and deterioration, there is much work that needs to be done.  This will include repairing and replacing many of the structural parts of the steeple, as well as, prepping, priming and painting the steeple in its entirety.  In order for any of this to take place,  special scaffolding must first be designed and built.  In the meantime, we have had some “temporary fixes” done to prevent any further water leaks into our sanctuary.

​

We are a small congregation, and maintaining such a historic structure is not an easy task.  Zion’s Red Church is the oldest in Schuylkill County and our lighted steeple is a beautiful landmark for the whole community.  We are so grateful to those who helped us with Phase 1.   We humbly ask for help with Phase 2. 

As of this writing, we need to raise an additional $12,000 for this project.
