Honoring Community Voices

Rather than shy away from the tough issues, the Zeidler Center leads conversations on the topics that matter most. Our professional facilitators, tailored group processes & comprehensive reporting allow voices to be heard in powerful ways, building trust and relationships in the midst of differences.

Thriving as a Body

Since our founding by Mayor Frank Zeidler and other members of the Redeemer Lutheran Church, the Zeidler Center has been dedicated to serving faith communities of diverse religions and denominations.
