Providing for Delaware River port communities

Stewardship and troubleshooting provided by Seamen’s Church Institute help keep maritime commerce – a $17 billion industry – moving smoothly and thriving in the Delaware Valley. 

For our community and local economy, Seamen’s Church Institute:

•  Catches small problems before they turn into big problems for business owners.

•  Prevents red tape, morale or labor issues from obstructing what’s best for maritime businesses and 75,000 local jobs*.

•  Promotes policies that lead to a clean environment and local economic growth (175,000 new jobs over the next 15 years^†). 

•  Provides advocacy, leadership, and a sense of community for riverfront residents.

SCI facilities also play an important role in Philadelphia’s riverfront community.  Our conference rooms offer a comfortable, neutral setting for maritime industry negotiations.  We provide much-needed worship space for All Souls’ Church for the Deaf and a welcoming gathering place for neighborhood organizations. 

For the benefit of our community and local economy, SCI strives to be a peaceful harbor in any storm. 

Driven by faith, we believe that we all do well by doing good.
