We are excited to share that Pastor Amanda has accepted our call and will be joining us on April 16, 2024.

UPDATE... as of January 23, 2024
Your Call Committee continues to ask for your prayers. We initially met with Rev. Kristin Nielsen, Assistant to the Bishop for Congregations in Mission of the Greater Milwaukee Synod, who shared insights for us to follow as we move through the call process. Since then, we have met several times as a committee to formulate interview questions based on the Ministry Site Profile (MSP). Then, we held a “mock” (practice) interview to help prepare us for meeting candidates who are interested in exploring a call to Galilee. Following the practice interview, we met with Rev. Nielsen a second time to share what we learned and review the protocol of the interview process – including the importance of keeping confidentiality about any candidates that we may be in conversation with. We are excited to share that we are now ready to receive Rostered Minister Profiles of pastors interested in exploring a call to Galilee!
God is at work in every step of this process. May the Holy Spirit guide Galilee, our call candidates and our call candidates’ congregations and families during this time of transition and discernment.

During the installation of the Call Committee on November 5, Pastor Jennifer asked the Sunday School kids to form a circle around Call Committee members and lay hands on them for prayer.
