Anchor House is a gospel-centered mission that reaches out to and serves all international seafarers and the SeaPort Manatee community in Palmetto, Florida. We are motivated by the words of Jesus Christ, who commissions us to “go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19, 20).

 

We take this command seriously as we aim to meet the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of our international Seafarers and SeaPort community. We do this through providing spiritual and physical nourishment for seafarers and the SeaPort community, ship visitation, worship services on ships, “ditty” bags, transporting seafarers to town to get supplies, hospital visitation, and so much more.­­­

Anchor House provides an array of support and service to the SeaPort Community, including:

• A calming center for rest.

• Transportation to nearby shopping areas.

• Package handling for Seafarers.

• Worship services

• Ship visits to share the Gospel.

• Food and drinks for Seafarers and the SeaPort Community.
