"Shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock." - 1 Peter 5:2-3

Worship Leader & Custodial
Zach and Courtney Lane started attending Galilee in 2016 after Zach graduated from Ionia’s missionary aviation school. They felt so welcomed and at home at here, that they were led to move closer and become more involved at Galilee. Zach has been on the praise team of various churches since his teens, and started playing guitar for Galilee soon after they started attending. In 2020, Zach was asked to be the full time worship leader and they both do a phenomenal job keeping Galilee clean and ready each week. Zach and Courtney have been blessed with four wonderful kids!
