Worship Ministries
The worship ministry is the work of the laity—the people of Galilee UMC—in shared ministry with our professionals—the pastors, church musicians, and other trained worship leaders. Each Sunday morning Galilee has two worship services meant to be alive and vital with God's presence and our active participation. We invite our congregation to become involved in our worship ministries—9:00 and 10:30 AM.
