Welcome to the home page of Annapolis Friends Meeting, which is located off North Bestgate at the end of DuBois Road. We are a spiritual fellowship where all people of diverse religious outlook, race, age, sexual orientation, income level, education, physical and mental ability and other human qualities are always welcome. Our meeting house is wheelchair accessible and has a hearing assistance system.
Our Sunday meeting for worship is from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm. First Day School (Sunday School) and childcare are provided for the children and youth during this time. Our monthly meeting for worship with a concern for business is from 9:00 am – 10:45 am on the first Sunday of each month. Following business meeting is 11:00 meeting for worship then a potluck to which all are invited.
We warmly welcome you to join us in worship. In the historic practice of the Religious Society of Friends, we sit quietly together in expectant silence to know the presence of the Divine Spirit and to wait for that “still small voice” of the living God to lead us. There is no prearranged program or outward sacrament, but all share in the ministry of silence or, if so led, in simple spoken ministry.
Our core belief is that God endows each human being with a measure of the Divine Spirit, or Inward Light. As we grow in awareness of this Light and submit ourselves to its leadings, we are enabled to live in conformity to the will of God. We have no formal creed but embrace the testimonies which Friends have practiced since our beginnings over 350 years ago, namely: simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship of the earth.
Through our committees, broader Quaker organizations, and interfaith alliances , Annapolis Friends Meeting acts locally and thinks globally on the great concerns of our time such as: world peace, alternatives to violence, racial justice, homelessness, LGBTQ rights, and protection of the environment.
