Hwy 47 is a strange road...in Warren County it runs north-south, in Lincoln County it runs east-west. From Troy only way to get to the Mississippi River or Winfield or Foley is on MO-47.
This church and cemetery, built in 1900, is almost dead-center between Troy and Winfield. It is very close to the Cuivre River State Park, and was created for the farmers and visitors to that park in the early days of the 20th Century.
This small church has always been a Christian, unattached, church.
"Each worship experience is designed to last about one hour and includes warm welcomes when you arrive, contemporary music, thought-provoking and engaging sermons, and fun services for kids
"The church is people, not a building. Let's support each other and our community through prayer. Whether physically together or connected virtually, we are still called to reach out to those who need Jesus.
"Throughout history, God's people have risen up in faith and victory through the power of the Holy Spirit when they have encountered challenges. We have that same power today and we have yet to see how the church will grow stronger during this time of difficulty." ~ New Galilee Church
"New Galilee Christian Church: In the northwest part of Monroe Township. In 1898 the congregation met at the old log Wilson Schoolhouse and organized the church. The building was erected in 1900. Galilee, one of the three provinces of Palestine, was the scene of a considerable part of the ministry of Jesus." ~ History of N.E. Missouri, Vol I, 1874, Williams, p. 403
