Quakers share a common faith, based on experience, that every human being can commune with God directly, without the need for any mediating persons or rituals, and that the worshiping community can commune directly with God, as well.
Come worship with us!
New York Yearly Meeting is made up of Quaker congregations (called 'Meetings') who typically meet every Sunday, and often have other worship opportunities throughout the week. We practice a variety of worship styles, ranging from silent meditative worship to pastor-lead sermon services. Click here to find worship opportunities near you!
