The Maine Council of Churches, founded in 1938, is a collaborative organization that inspires peace, justice, and compassion through collective action. Working with a diverse range of member denominations and partner organizations, they advocate for public policy, provide resources for worship, and address pressing issues such as domestic violence, gun violence, racial justice, and environmental concerns.
Committed to promoting inclusivity and accessibility, the Maine Council of Churches also strives to make community information and mourning rituals accessible in American Sign Language, as exemplified by their response to the tragic shooting at Schemengees Bar Grille. Through their various initiatives and events, they aim to create a progressive faith-based witness that thrives in Maine, fostering a more compassionate and just society.
