Finnish Seamen´s Mission in Rotterdam

With you abroad

The Finnish Seamen´s Mission in Rotterdam is a cultural and social as well as religious meeting place for all the Finns who live or are just visiting the Netherlands, as well as for their friends and family.

The Finnish Seamen´s Mission in Rotterdam is also open to all the friends of Finland. The church is happy to help all those who find themselves in trouble – even when the trouble is the lack of Finnish black rye bread, or just the need to relax in a Finnish sauna! We are here for everyone.

As an organisation and as a church, the Finnish Seamen’s Mission co-operates with the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Finland, and observes its confessional Christian, social, cultural and diaconic work among seafarers and Finns living abroad, and carries out international Christian work at Finnish ports.
