Galatians 3:26-29 "So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise." NIV

The Galilean Institute, "The Galilean," has been formed to commemorate the 2000th anniversary of the public ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth as a testimony to his profound impact on our world and to share his message with future generations. The core function of the Galilean is education of the followers of Jesus in the historical and cultural roots of their faith.
The Galilean will create a hub and gathering point in Galilee, Israel for visitors from all over the world to reflect on our Christian heritage. It will celebrate the un-paralleled influence of Jesus on world history, culture, ethics, science and religion. The Institute will be an inter-denominational witness to the unity believers have in Christ and to his universal message. It will become a nexus for education, research, and service to encourage discipleship. The Galilean focuses on high quality, affordable Biblical education delivered through partnerships using multiple modalities - exhibitions, conferences, publications, traditional and online courses, and study-abroad opportunities. Coming Soon: Study-in-Israel courses through the Graduate College of Biblical Studies and the Galilean Education Consortium. Matthew 28:10. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me." RSV |
