Welcome to Saint Francis by the Sea in Blue Hill, Maine
We are located 2 miles north of the flashing light on Route 177.

It is the mission of St. Francis by the Sea to Glorify God and to serve as a vital and growing place for worship and education. We desire to be a church whose life is centered in the administration of the sacraments, most particularly Holy Baptism and the Eucharist, and the preaching of the Gospel. We believe that, in order to fulfill our mission, we must love and care for one another, and reach out to others in the knowledge and conviction that the church exists for those within it and for all God’s people.

The Episcopal Church of the United States is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We embrace the traditional view of the creeds, the ministry and sacraments–the benchmarks of faith since apostolic times. We also value and incorporate the intellectual renewal and freedom of the Reformation. We base our authority upon Scripture, the record of God’s covenant with us; Tradition, the ways in which the Holy Spirit has guided the church; and human reason, the experience of God’s revelation to us through the human mind and conscience.
