For sixteen years, the Grace Gala has been a cornerstone of support for Zion Lutheran School, enabling us to share the Gospel through Christ-centered, rigorous education throughout the greater Alexandria community. This year, as we reflect on God's provision and our response, as we are reminded to "Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises", for it is in thankfulness to God we teach students about Jesus (Psalm 98:4).

Why Your Support Matters

Through Grace Gala donations, we can support:

Tuition assistance and tuition offsetting for families who desire a Christian education 

Facility improvements and safety upgrades

Continuing and expanding educational programs that keep the Gospel message central to everything we teach

Last year’s Grace Gala raised an astounding $174,000, enabling us to upgrade the gym floor! 

Between God's provision and your support and generosity, we continue to witness lives transformed by Gospel-centered education. We cannot thank you enough for your faithful partnership in this ministry.

Our Mission Continues

It is Zion's privilege and calling to provide a high standard of education for Preschool through 8th grade while keeping the message of Christ's love and forgiveness clear in everything being taught. With your help, we are training young disciples who will carry their faith into their families, churches, and communities for years to come. This is not just education—it is Kingdom work.
