Welcome to Live Oak Friends Meeting! We are an open, welcoming community of seekers who meet weekly for meeting for worship, expecting to experience direct communion with God, the divine Spirit, or whatever name we use for that transcendent essence that infuses all life. 

A fundamental Quaker belief is that there is “that of God in everyone.” We seek to interact with others from that perspective, and to live our lives according to the Quaker testimonies of integrity, equality, simplicity, and peace. Learn more about what Quakers believe here.    

Our children and families are also very important, with a nursery for children under three, and programs for preschool, elementary, middle school and high school kids.  And there are many other ways we build our community. If you would like to learn more about our weekly activities, subscribe to our weekly e-newsletter 

As an unprogrammed Friends Meeting, we rely on our members to do many of the functions provided by paid staff in other churches. We have committees to do much of that work, and we also have many informal and intermittent opportunities for people to participate in the community.

Our meeting house is a James Turrell Skyspace, open to the public every Friday night and the first Sunday of each month 30 minutes before sunset.  Weather permitting, the roof will be open to allow the public to experience the play of changing light over the simple white interior walls.

We share the blessing of this building by allowing individuals to rent it for weddings and memorial services. Community groups may also rent the building for events in keeping with Quaker values.
