We want you to have an active faith life.
An active life of faith means to pray regularly and intentionally. It means to serve others with sacrificial love. It means forming relationships with others so that the bonds of the church are strong.
When our faith is activated, our hearts and minds are wide open to receive the fruits of the Holy Spirit. These are supernatural gifts like joy, peace, patience, and kindness and they bring us confidence that God is in our lives. He knows us, loves us, and saves us.
These blessings are on offer at our church, and are found when you get involved. Finding your next steps in faith, whatever they are, will help you in a journey toward true discipleship.
Nothing grows faith, understanding, confidence and compassion quicker than bonding with others of like mind in a small group.
Small groups are a cornerstone of the church experience at Galilee. We want to walk beside you as you find your fit with a group that will build your faith and your network of friends.
“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed” – Proverbs 11:25
We believe that God blesses those who, like the apostle Peter, step out of the boat to follow Christ. You don’t need to know how to walk on water! Just take the first steps and Christ will handle the hard stuff.
We all have different gifts that allow us to go and be witnesses to Christ in every aspect of life. At our monthly Go and Be fellowship suppers, we discuss those various gifts as we get to know one another better.
Join us on the first Tuesday of the month. Dinner is free, but we do ask that you RSVP so we can plan accordingly.
The church is a classroom. It is far more than a classroom, but it has always been a classroom. We read in the Bible that early Christians “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching” (Acts 2:42).
Bible teaching was at the center of church life in the beginning. It must always be at the center of church life. It is certainly at the center of life at Galilee.
Many an active Galilean has found their footing in faith by attending or volunteering at Vacation Bible School. Why not you?
This year’s VBS is perfect for finding your feet! It’s called called Seekers in Sneakers: Discover Jesus and it’s about finding ways to follow Jesus in all aspects of life.
