Classes are offered to ensure that all members understand the basic plan
of salvation and introduce fundamental truths about the Christian faith.
New members are informed of all aspects of the church and this ministry serves as a
link to connect members with all ministries and activities available.
We attempt to make the transition for new believers as well as
experienced believers as easy as possible.Behold, how good and how pleasant it
is for brethren to dwell together in unity!.Psalm 133:1
The
New Members Committee President greets New
Members immediately after they join the church and give
them information that include a written greeting from
the Pastor, a list of church auxiliaries and leaders, a
copy of the church covenant and contact information
including telephone numbers, the church website and e-mail addresses. Members that join and need to be
baptized are also given preliminary instructions during this time.

Galilee’s New Members Orientation Class. New Members are
encouraged to attend this two week class upon joining
the church.
