  • The Finnish Seamen's Mission was established in 1875. In Finland's two official languages it is known as Suomen Merimieskirkko ry in Finnish and Finlands Sjömanskyrka rf in Swedish. It was established to help Finns travelling abroad, particularly seafarers and migrant workers. It is a Christian organisation which, as well as providing church services and pastoral care, also aims to provide cultural and social services to the Finnish community. The Secretary General is Sakari Lehmuskallio. The Finnish Seamen's Mission works in close co-operation with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, although it is a separate organisation. Finnish Lutheran clergy are based in the missions. There are also other Finnish Lutheran congregations and clergy outside of Finland, but the Finnish Seamen's Mission and the Finnish Church Abroad work together to prevent duplication of work.
  • Merimieslähetystä tekevät merimieskirkot eri puolilla maailmaa. Merimieskirkot ovat merenkulkijoiden ja ulkomailla asuvien ja liikkuvien ulkosuomalaisten suosiossa. Heidän lisäkseen merimieskirkkojen palveluita käyttävät rekkakuskit, opiskelijat, au parit, turistit, interreilaajat virkamiehet, komennusmiehet ja -naiset, satunnaiset matkailijat ja elämäntapakulkijat.
