Mariner Friendly Congregations

Global Trade Depends On Mariners Who Depend On You.

Seafarers' House relies on and deeply values the support of faith-based communities who make our mission possible. Mariner Friendly Congregations partner with Seafarers' House in its ministry.

Seafarers' House provides worship resources for faith communities of all denominations to share in maritime ministry, and Seafarers' House chaplains are available to speak to churches, youth groups and other organizations. Without the support of congregations, Seafarers' House could not accomplish its unique and valuable work.

For its MFC community, Seafarers' House promises to:

  • Send a chaplain or other representative at least once a year to preach or talk about SFH’s ministry
  • Provide materials for Seafarers’ Sunday, Sunday School/small group classes, volunteer opportunities and areas of interest

As a committed partner of Seafarers' House, a MFC promises to:

  • Receive a chaplain or other Seafarers' House representative once a year to visit OR come visit Seafarers' House at least once a year (time/location allowing)
  • Include seafarers and Seafarers' House in your Prayers of Intercession regularly, especially around Maritime Day (May 22) or on a designated Seafarers’ Sunday
