About First Friends Meeting Richmond
-
Quakers? Who are Quakers and what are they about? Well, we hope you will come and find out. We are all about growing ourselves, our community, and the love of God in the world. We offer a community that starts with simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and earth care. We don't end there though, we keep learning and growing.
We are Christ-centered as a meeting, but open to the religious experiences and convictions of all individuals, believing that direct knowledge of God is available to all people everywhere, whatever their religious or cultural background. We believe that children have a special connection to the life of the Spirit; we work to be a warm, nurturing community for children, young people, and their families. Adult spiritual enrichment opportunities include Bible study, book discussions, communication workshops, etc., nurturing individual lives and group dynamics in a vital faith for the twenty-first century. Meals, celebrations, and other fun events also help us enjoy one another.
