ABOUT US
SCS Maine believes in the inherent worth and dignity of all people and offers non-judgemental support in our encounters. Chaplains provide respect, loving-kindness, and honesty to people dealing with stress, fear, health issues, and other challenges. We work as a part of integrated teams with other organizations to ensure holistic care for those we serve.
OUR VISION
The vision of SCS Maine is that everyone and anyone who needs our help will find compassion, comfort, assistance, and hope.
OUR CHAPLAINS
Our chaplains have had advanced religious or spiritual training and a unit of clinical pastoral education (CPE). CPE is an interfaith educational experience, open to people of all faiths and traditions that uses an action-reflection-action instructional method and supervised practice in realworld settings to prepare clergy and spiritual care practitioners to provide professional spiritual care.
WHAT WE DO
We address human suffering by meeting people where they are and accompanying them wherever they are on life's journey.
