Small Groups

We want to walk beside you as you find your fit with a group that will build your faith and your network of friends. For information about joining a group or forming a new one, email our church office: info@galileeumc.org. If you have an update to the details of a group listing, please email us here.

We think small groups are the best way to grow in faith, but they are not the only way to learn and grow. Here are some others.

Women’s Bible Study – Monday Evening

The Monday Evening Women’s Bible Study meets on Zoom every Monday at 6:30pm, except the first Monday of the month, when we meet at the church at 5:30pm to fill bins for Backpack Buddies and enjoy a potluck dinner.

This September, the group will read Jonah by Priscilla Shirer.

“Interruptions. They’re aggravating. Sometimes infuriating. But how we handle interruptions actually tells us more about ourselves. What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run! In this 7-session Bible study, Priscilla Shirer redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God’s invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city.”

Contact Mary Ann Myers to connect. Drop-ins are welcome — each session has a stand-alone message.

Tuesday Night Sisterhood

The Tuesday Night Sisterhood meets on Zoom every Tuesday at 7pm during most of the year. It’s accessible to anyone, anywhere and we’d love to have you!

The group is reading Esther: Seeing Our Invisible God in an Uncaring World by Lynn Cowell and Amy Carroll.

The group is co-lead by Deb Benigni, Betsy Fanning, and Jane Gill. Email Deb for the Zoom details. We welcome participants from anywhere and from any background.

Wednesday Women's Bible Study

The Wednesday Women’s Bible Study is a group of women who meet weekly to discuss the Bible and other books, share their experiences, offer support, and enjoy much laughter.

The group is on break for the summer. They will return in the fall, and would love for you to join them. Check back here for news soon.

The group meets in person in the church on Wednesday, 9:30-11:00am. To join the group or for any other questions, contact one of the group’s co-leaders, Kathy or Claudette.

Prime Timers

Prime Timers, Galilee’s group for older adults, has been reactivated!

This is a fellowship group for support and friendship which will meet every month on the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 12-2pm. There will be lunches, planned excursions, and more.

The group will meet monthly. If you’re interested, contact Pastor Steven.

Thursday Morning Son-Rise Group

The Son-Rise Group are early risers meeting at 6:30 am. They currently meet via Zoom but are open to in-person meetings at Galilee, should there be interest. All are welcome.

The group invites anyone interested in Bible study to come for learning and fellowship. Discussion happens at 6:30am on Thursdays. The Zoom link for the meeting is here.

For more information, please email Jeff Appel. Thursdays at 6:30am via Zoom.

Thursday Morning - Sisters In Christ

The Sisters in Christ meet on 1st and 3rd Thursdays from 10-11:30am. Join us in the Adult Flex Room for fellowship and interesting discussion!

The Sisters’ Spring study is Tame Your Thoughts by Max Lucado and runs for six sessions with book and video components.

Email Nancy Epperson for more information. We welcome participants from anywhere and from any background. First and third Thursday mornings.

Galilee Book Club

The Galilee Book Club is a group of Christians reading books, not necessarily church books (though we sometimes read those). We do not limit ourselves by genre or topic. Members take turns to choose a book and the group meets monthly for a potluck dinner and discussion at 5pm usually (but not always) on the fourth Sunday of the month.

Our Summer selection is the novel Ransom by Daniel Silva. We’ll meet for dinner & discussion at Galilee in the Adult Flex room @ 5:00pm on Sunday, September 27.

Contact Chris Smith at chris.smith@galileeumc.org for information and to let us know you are coming. All are welcome. Check out our book group webpage.

Galilee Men's Group - (Service Group)

The focus of the Galilee Men’s Group is to support Galilee Church’s missions:

Connect – Provide opportunities for men to participate in social activities. These include a “Men’s Night Out” held one Thursday each month at a local restaurant. Other examples include local sporting and cultural events that cater specifically to men’s interests.
Grow and Worship – Opportunities exist for participation in weekly small group Bible Study sessions. These weekly sessions are designed to introduce and enhance Galilee Men’s knowledge of the truth of God’s Word.
Serve – Provide opportunities to utilize Galilee Men’s skills through participation in large group “serving” events identified by ourselves or Galilee Church.

Women of Galilee - (Service Group)

The Women of Galilee (WG) group welcome YOU to their next event. WG is a way to bring women together for fellowship and service. Every generation is represented in this group, so women can learn from each other and develop lasting relationships.
