About Us 

Gwynedd Friends Meeting has existed for more than 300 years, a community of the Society of Religious Friends has gathered in a wooden-benched meeting house, nestled among the trees and gardens, to nurture the movement of Spirit within hearts united in love, peace, and unity.
We are an open and inclusive community made up of people from all walks of life—sharing worship, youth and adult educational programs, social justice advocacy, and other caring concerns. Quaker Friends believe in a universal community, based foremost on the spiritual light within each person. This Light Within (under any name) guides our actions in ways that lead to a compassionate approach to living.  Explore more about what we believe and how we live it.
We embrace peace, equality, and justice—working with others locally, nationally, and internationally—and follow leadings through direct action on a variety of social and environmental concerns. It’s often said, “Our service begins when worship ends.” More about connections you can make.
Gwynedd Friends follow a traditional “unprogrammed” or “expectant silence” worship, which means that we sit in silence to seek for the source of love and truth in our lives, with no pastor or prepared vocal ministry.
Gwynedd Friends Meeting is one of nine monthly meetings in the Abington Quarter, under the aegis of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (PYM). Faith and Practice by the PYM serves as one of our practical and spiritual guides.
Planning a visit? We gather for worship every Sunday and Wednesday. Come and enjoy the quiet respite as Friends “mind the Light.”
