As Friends, we are not always “special day” celebratory. We celebrate God at work in this world, in our hearts, and in our lives. Pentecost is one of those Biblical moments Friends may celebrate regularly—God’s presence manifest in the lives of the gathered community. Whether or not our celebration is overt, we highlight, uplift and encourage the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We acknowledge the presence of the Divine in one another.

Throughout our history, the people known as Friends (or Quakers) keep rediscovering an essential and enduring truth: There is one who speaks to our most basic needs and most significant hopes—Christ Jesus the Lord. Both individually and communally, we are learning to know and follow the Voice that guides us in the way we should go. Together, we seek to understand and obey that truth which sets us free. As a people, we share in the experience of that powerful life which makes all things new. Maybe you are searching for an authentic and transforming faith and community to call home—if so, come in and join us as we seek to know and follow Christ.
Friends United Meeting commits itself to energize and equip Friends through the power of the Holy Spirit to gather people into fellowships where Jesus Christ is known, loved, and obeyed as Teacher and Lord.
