Welcome to
Virginia Beach Friends Meeting
Welcome to the website of Virginia Beach Friends Meeting where you will find information about our Meeting and about Quakerism. You are also welcome to visit with us to experience Quaker Meeting for Worship. Quakers, also known as Friends, believe that there is that of God within each and every person. Friends from the beginning have used various names for the Divine, including God, Spirit, Christ Within, Still Small Voice, and Inner Light. Regardless of the name, this is the ultimate source of truth and peace that many are seeking. As we worship in silence together, we seek the continuing revelation of the Still Small Voice within.
Virginia Beach Friends Meeting is a Quaker community with members who hail from a variety of life experiences and spiritual backgrounds. Most of us live in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia which includes Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, Hampton and Portsmouth. The spiritual depth of our Meeting has created a nurturing community that welcomes people of all ethnicities, religious backgrounds, races, sexual orientations, and gender identities and/or expressions.
We hope you will visit us soon!
We endeavor to follow the path of simplicity and moderation and to live within our means. As stewards rather than owners of God’s creations, we seek to share His abundance with all of humanity. Opportunities for sharing and service begin at home through Meeting and community activities in education, housing, foster parenting, disarmament, food assistance, prison ministry, and spirituality.
