A Galilee Service is a style of church service in which the congregational leader conducts the worship outdoors with the congregation. It is called a "Galilee Service" because it is reminscent of when Jesus Christ stood in a boat on the Sea of Galilee while teaching the crowds that stood on the shoreline (Matthew 13:2-3).

If you do not have a radio in your car, one will be provided for you.

People often ask: In cases of the drive-in church services, why would people want to worship inside their cars instead of amongst other worshippers?
The answers are many:
1. Those with asthma, COPD, and other similar issues want to attend a service without being exposed to hair spray fumes, cleaning chemicals, etc. They also don't want their coughing fits to disturb others.
2. Some cars hold severely mentally impaired or autistic worshippers who may be loud and disturbing in a traditional worship service.
3. Some may have had a recent surgery; a church pew doesn't allow them to sit in a comfortable position.
4. Others have severe back or hip problems; church pews also cause them great discomfort.
5. New mothers may not want to disturb others with their babies' cries.
6. Other people have severe allergies to perfumes and other scents.
7. Some people suffer from agoraphobia (fear of crowds).
And of course, there are many other reasons beyond these; each individual case is different, and their reasons are all valid. So please do not judge Drive-In Galilee Services in a bad light, as this style of Galilee Service may be the best way some people can gather for worship.
