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.
