What We Believe
Living Word Galena is a community focused church helping busy families experience the grace of Jesus.
Meeting You In The Messiness Of Life
We get it — life can feel overwhelming and messy. There’s always a million things pulling us in different directions, and it’s easy to feel like you’re barely holding it together. At Living Word Galena, you’re not alone. We meet you right where you are — because that’s exactly where Jesus met us.
Built On Grace – Big On Fun!
Grace is God’s incredible gift that gives us forgiveness and new life, even when we don’t deserve it. But here’s the best part — grace isn’t just serious business; it’s full of joy and freedom! We believe grace should feel like a breath of fresh air and, yes, it can be a lot of fun too.
Connected to Our Community, Committed to Our Neighbors
We love being a hub where people gather, serve, and laugh together. Whether you live just around the corner or a few counties away — Knox, Morrow, Delaware, Franklin, Union, and beyond — we’re dedicated to loving our neighbors and building meaningful connections wherever God has placed us.
Our Heart & Values
- Life Works BEST with Jesus. Life can throw a lot our way, but we believe there’s one thing that truly makes a difference — Jesus. He’s the heart of everything we teach and live out.
- We Bring Families and Kids CLOSER to Jesus. We’re all part of God’s big family, and we want every member — especially kids and families — to feel loved and connected. We’re always dreaming up fun, creative ways to help everyone grow in their love for Jesus.
- Jesus Turns Strangers into Family HERE. Faith can be scary and unfamiliar at first. We’ve all been there. But Jesus is patient and persistent, and He invites us into His family — where no one is a stranger for long.
- Sharing Jesus’ LOVE in Our Neighborhoods. Jesus’ love isn’t just for church walls — it’s for every person around us. We’ve experienced life-changing hope through Him, and we want our neighbors to experience it too.
