"A Healthy, Caring Community in Christ, Reaching Out with the Gospel to Those Around Us." 

We, the members of Galilee Lutheran Church, Chester, Maryland, are committed to spreading the Word of God and telling of his love for us as his Son Jesus told us to do. ( Matthew 28:18-20). 

We do this, not because we have done anything to deserve His love, but rather because we believe and trust that God wants us to be saved and to be with Him eternally. 

And so we endeavor to carry out Christ's Great Commission through worship, service, stewardship, fellowship, and the edification of one another in Christian faith and life.We therefore dedicate ourselves to the task of: 

1) Witnessing our faith in Jesus Christ to each other, to the community in which we live, and to the nation and the world. 

2) Offering service to our fellowmen by acts of mercy and concern. 

3) Practicing stewardship by the intelligent management and use of God's gifts to us. 

4) Celebrating fellowship with one another so that a spirit of unity and joy exists in the Congregation. 

5) Growing in grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ by the education of all ages through study and mutual sharing of God's Word.
