Briefly

Gwynedd Friends Meeting is an inclusive religious community that affirms the value of all people regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation.

Members of the Religious Society of Friends, Quakers, believe in the presence of the Light of God in everyone, direct communion with the Divine, and continuing revelation. Rooted in the Christian tradition, we eagerly welcome believers of all faiths as fellow members of God's universal community.

We gather in silence, quiet the superficial chatter in our minds, calm our hearts, and seek the source of love and truth in our lives. Friends describe this source in various ways: God, the Spirit, the Inward Light, the Divine, the Christ Within, the still small voice. We welcome you to our Meetinghouse. Our worship is in the manner of Friends. Enter quietly and take a seat. Some Friends arrive early to sit in silence and quiet their thoughts before the start of Meeting for Worship. This is called "centering down."

We at Gwynedd Friends follow the "unprogrammed" style of worship, which simply means that we don’t have a pastor who leads our services.

Faith & Practice, a publication of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, serves as one of our practical and spiritual guides. A copy is available, if you would like one.

Quakers bear witness to our core beliefs through direct action on a variety of social concerns. We work locally, nationally and internationally. It’s often said, “Our service begins when worship ends.”

Welcome 1

Folks come to us looking for a spiritual home. Please visit. Quakers believe in the presence of God in everyone. Regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or reason, you will find a warm welcome from us.

In addition to our belief in that of God in everyone, we believe in direct communion with the Divine. In other words, Spirit speaks and guide us directly. Our worship is in silence as we wait expectantly for that connection.

In worship we gather in silence, quiet our minds, calm our hearts, and seek the source of love and truth in our lives. At times, Friends feel called to stand and speak a message given from the divine.

We eagerly welcome believers of all faiths as fellow members of God's universal community. Our Meeting for Worship service, Sundays at 9:30 AM, is open to everyone in person and on a Zoom link. We also have Worship on Wednesday evenings at 8PM on the same Zoom link.

We enter our worship rooms quietly. The worship begins as you enter in silence. There are no assigned seats. We do not have a pastor who leads us.

We Quakers bear witness to our core beliefs through direct action on a variety of social concerns, like housing the homeless, supporting food banks, and standing vigil for peace. We work locally, nationally, and internationally. Quakers often say, “Our service begins when worship ends.”
