Welcome to the Maine Council of Churches
We are an ecumenical community of nine denominations dedicated to the vision of a sustainable, just, and compassionate world.
We serve as a voice and a resource for Maine's congregations, people of faith, and other organizations that share our vision.
NEWS & UPDATES
Celebrate Interdependence with Local Foods
Summer is filled with food, from church picnics to family barbecues to quiet dinners at home. And summer is a great time to celebrate our interdependence with creation and the people who grow, harvest, and supply our food. Farm stands, markets, and gardens are overflowing with the abundance of the earth and offer us the opportunity to supply our tables with food that is environmentally and economically sustainable. Where can you find local foods? Check out the new Maine Foods Map to see the many options near you.
Maine Council of Churches continues to call for a Commission of Inquiry into US-sponsored torture, as well as legislative safeguards to prevent future abuse. Read more at Maine Religious Campaign Against Torture.
General Assistance Resource Cards
Navigating the General Assistance Program in Maine can be a challenge for anyone. That's why we've developed a new resource for pastors and congregations who can help those in need by providing the clear information, and by serving as advocates to ensure applicants are treated fairly.
This PDF file of 3 cards per page is designed to allow churches to reproduce these double-sided cards to easily distribute this information to members of the community.
Read more about our Hear and Respond Project on our Economic Justice page.
