A Warm Welcome
We’re a small rural meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) located in a community established in the 1870’s. Bear Creek Friends Meeting is an “un-programmed meeting.”
The Meeting for Worship is the heart of Friends faith. We “meet in worship to wait upon God to speak within, and through one to one another. As we quiet our senses and center … We experience a sense of greater nearness to the Divine Source of Truth and Reality.” The Religious Society of Friends exists to nurture the experience of God through Meeting for Worship and to support one another as each seeks to discern and to live according to the will of God.
