Partner
Churches The Mission has partnerships with
churches on Islesboro, North Haven, Swan's Island,
and Vinalhaven to serve the spiritual needs of
these geographically less accessible communities.
Support for the Mission enables each church to
have a full-time minister who is expected to serve
both the congregation and the island at large.
The pastors bring a special dimension to the island
community including pastoral care to the whole
island and much more. Their involvement includes
starting and running food pantries, outreach to
the youth and elderly, serving on town boards,
working in the island schools and serving as part
of the island ambulance crew. The experienced
ministers of these partner churches serve well
beyond their own congregations and bring many
things to their small, island communities.
