Meetinghouse in spring
All Are Welcome!
Swarthmore Friends Meeting is a diverse and welcoming religious community centered around worship, fellowship, and action on social concerns. As Quakers, we believe that each person experiences God directly, without outside assistance, and we seek this direct communion with God in our silent worship. Our social witnesses spring from our calling to nurture that of God in every person.
Our meetinghouse is located on the Swarthmore College campus. We invite all to join us in worship and other activities, and to explore whether Swarthmore Meeting would be a good spiritual home for you.
Quakerism: Profound, simple, and not mysterious! Quakers talk about their faith in short videos.
Learn more about Quaker beliefs, the Inner Light, and putting faith into practice.
Worship times: 10:00 am Sundays (in person year round, hybrid on second Sundays) and 10.00am Wednesdays (online only year-round.). See below for more information and how to get the Zoom link.
Swarthmore Friends Meeting will be sharing Meeting for Worship using Zoom on the second Sunday of each month, and every Wednesday. If you would like to have the Zoom link for meeting for worship Sunday morning at 10 am Eastern, or Wednesday morning at 10 am Eastern, contact the Meeting secretary at the address or telephone number below.
Religious Education: Children at 10:00 am each Sunday, September through May.

Swarthmore Friends Meeting welcomes all who come as spiritual seekers to share in worship and participate in the activities of our life together. We celebrate diversity in its many forms, and strive to grow and sustain a loving fellowship where all feel welcome.
