History

The Maine Sea Coast Mission was founded in 1905 by two brothers, who were also pastors, Angus and Alexander MacDonald. They took the first Mission boat, a sloop called Hope, to isolated island communities providing spiritual support where there were no churches, bringing books and learning opportunities, and always sharing in the spirit of giving and joy with Christmas surprises. The scope of the services provided by the Mission has grown considerably over the last 100 years but the mission remains essentially the same.

Maine Sea Coast Mission continues to serve as a source of hope, encouragement, and strength for individuals, families and communities and now has more to do than ever.
