Nashville Friends Meeting is a faith community called together to listen for and carry out what God/the Divine would have us do, individually and together. Grounded in the knowledge that there is "that of God" (also called the Light, the Seed, or the Christ) within every person, we seek to live in wholeness and to be faithful according to that Truth. Because of this, we strive to let our lives speak, demonstrating to each other and the world our testimonies of integrity, community, peace, equality, simplicity.  - Statement of purpose, approved 5th day, 5th month 2004

We believe that we are all called to ministry. We do not have a pastor or paid clergy. We believe that gifts of the Spirit are given for the good of the community and strive to recognize, affirm, and encourage expression of those gifts in each of us, regardless of gender expression, racial or ethnic identity, sexual orientation, background, abilities, or history.

"There is a principle that is pure, placed in the human mind, which in different places and ages hath different names. It is, however, pure and proceeds from God. It is deep and inward, confined to no forms of religion nor excluded from any, where the heart stands in perfect sincerity."  - John Woolman

Nashville Friends Meeting is located between the old (1400ce) city of Mound Bottom, the 6,000 stone box burials along ‘Browns’ Creek, ‘Castalian Springs’ mounds, and the ‘Sellars Farm’ town site. We are on the traditional lands of Mississippian peoples and their descendants, including the Yuchi and Mvskoke tribes. The descendants of Yuchi and Mvskoke peoples currently reside in Oklahoma. We are working on and hopeful of their return.
