About Us

We are a community of the Religious Society of Friends, more commonly known as Quakers, in Eastern Rhode Island. Our community worships at three different Meeting Houses around Rhode Island, but we all gather for business as part of Providence Monthly Meeting. Our Monthly Meeting is part of the larger group of Friends called, New England Yearly Meeting (NEYM).

Meeting for Worship happens every Sunday and we welcome anyone to join us.

  • Please see our locations for exact places and times.
  • If you are curious about what Meeting for Worship is like please see our What to Expect.
  • For more about Quakers, please take a look at The Quaker Way on NEYM’s site.

The Religious Society of Friends has a long tradition of continual revelation. We share this revelation through testimonials.

Through our belief of “that of God in everyone,” the Religious Society of Friends has always had a deep commitment to peace and social justice. Please read about our ministries to learn more.
