History
Zion United Church was formed in 1968 when the Zion Evangelical United Brethren Church joined the United Church of Canada. Zion Church, Kitchener was established in the 1830s, with a congregation organized in 1839, and the denomination's first Canadian church erected in 1841. It was known as the mother church of the denomination in Canada, and several of the other Kitchener churches were its missionary offspring. Zion United Church closed in 2015.
