나눔과 배움이 있는 신앙 공동체 (신학교와 목회현장의 다리위에서): We are so grateful that we have had chances to make bridges with other faith communities and theological schools. 
(1) 칼빈 예배갱신 그랜트 (Worship Renewal Grant from the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship)

Zion had the privilege of being awarded a Worship Renewal Grant from the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship for three years (2003-2006), which enabled the congregants to work together in cultivating (1) the recovery of both the table of the word and the table of the meal, (2) inculturation of worship, (3) active participation of the laity, and (4) bridging generations.

(2) 유나이티드 신학교 (United Theological Seminary in OH)

Zion had the opportunity to learn and teach when we were invited to be one of the 12 Teaching Church Network Congregations (TNC) of the Center for Worship, Preaching, and the Art at United Theological Seminary in 2004, and one of  the 6 Teaching Church Network Congregations of the same Center in 2007.

--> 2007 Theme: “Formed and Transformed: Catechesis for Persons Preparing for Baptism”

Zion also hosted a "Multicultural Hymn Festival" with United Theological Seminary Singers (United Sound) and Hillsgrove-Zion Shared Ministry Music Teams in 2005.

(3) 보스톤 신학대학 (Boston University School of Theology)

Zion has been one of the contextual education sites at Boston University School of Theology (BUSTH) for decades. Zion was also invited to be a part of the curricular innovation and re-design project team at BUSTH (2007-8). In 2015, BU students in an Urban Ministry class visited to Zion as part of a field trip (Theme: “Global-Local: The Impact of Global Migration in the Urban Context”).


(4) 예일대 회중 프로젝트 (Yale ISM Congregations Project)

In 2015, Zion was among seven congregations from across the United States and Canada selected to attend the Yale Institute of Sacred Music Congregations Project Summer Seminar (http://ismcongregations.yale.edu/news/2015-seminar-zion-korean-united-hodist-church-warwick-ri).
