Charlotte Friends Meeting
As a Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quaker), we seek to:
- be guided by Spirit, individually and collectively;
- foster a caring, welcoming, and inclusive fellowship;
- deepen our experience of Quaker worship, faith, and practice;
- broaden our understanding of Quaker history and principles;
- and strengthen our service and witness in the broader world.
