Durham Friends Meeting

Welcome to the Durham Friends Meeting (Quaker)

We are a community of people who gather for worship and fellowship on Sunday mornings, and who attempt to carry the experience of spiritual centeredness and guidance into their lives during the week.
All are welcome to join us as we worship in the traditional “unprogrammed” manner of Friends. We have no ritual, liturgy, creed, sermon or prepared music. Our activities are organized and conducted by members and attenders as volunteers. We have a few part-time staff, but no paid clergy.

For information about our manner of worship, values and more click on the "About" page on the bar above and peruse the sub-pages "Durham Friends" and "Quaker Q & A".
Durham Meeting was founded in 1937. It is affiliated both with North Carolina Yearly Meeting (Conservative) and with the Friends General Conference through its local affiliate, Piedmont Friends Fellowship.
We welcome your inquiry or visit!

April Forum on Experiment with Light

Forum on First Day April 24th: An Introduction to Experiment With Light

Be still awhile from thy own thoughts, searching, seeking, desires, and imaginations, and be stayed in the principle of God in thee...And thou being come to the principle of God [within], which hath been transgressed [by thee], it will keep thee humble; and [to] the humble God will teach his way, which is peace... George Fox’s advice to Elizabeth Cromwell Claypole, 1658:

Please share your thoughts about the DFM Renovation Plans

Ten years ago, we built a new Meetinghouse and completed what we could with what resources the Spirit brought forth at the time.
