Mural

ZCC is so proud to be located along Zionsville’s Big-4 Rail Trail, a five-mile paved trail that connects the town’s many parks and pathways. We view our building as more than just a brick-and-mortar place to carry out worship – it is a community asset. The 4,339-square-foot mural on the west side of our building is meant as both an act of public art and an act of public witness.

As you run, bike, or stroll by – or stop to enjoy a drink of water at our rest area – take a look!
