Administrative history
The first service in the mission field of Prince George was held in 1924 and during the first year the Sunday School, Youth Group and choir were organized using the abandoned Presbyterian Church for meetings. Pastor Juring served through the summer of 1926 while Pastor A. Trinklein guided the congregation the following year through the adoption of a constitution and the choosing of a name: "The Connaught Hill Lutheran Church". A church building was purchased and dedicated in 1928. The Ladies Aid, formed in 1925, raised money for congregational projects. The first Connaught Hill Lutheran Parochial School was opened in 1934 and operated until 1937. The parsonage was purchased in the 1940s and improvements were made to the church as well. Plans for building a new church started in 1957 and by 1958 was completed and dedicated. This building would serve until the 1980s when space considerations again became an issue, especially those of the growing Sunday School. Plans again began for a new building. In 1988 the congregation joined the newly formed Lutheran Church-Canada synod. The name was changed to Zion Lutheran church. The congregations at Telkwa and Vanderhoof were also served from Zion, Prince George.
