Our Services

Sunday

10:00am: Silent worshop followed by social time and a second hour of education, discussion, business, potluck, and other things. Occasionally no second hour is scheduled.

What to Expect

What are services like?
We are an unprogrammed meeting, meaning that we don't have a minister or other official presiding over our worship. Instead, we sit silently listening to the spirit (sometimes called the light). When moved to speak, anyone may break the silence.

What is the community like?
In all things, both with one another and with the world, we seek to be guided by a spirit of compassion and love. We are active in local peace and justice work, including the establishment of the Whatcom Peace and Justice Center and the Friday afternoon vigil for peace and justice at the Federal Building in downtown Bellingham. We welcome newcomers’ energy and ideas as an enrichment of our community.

What if I'm not a Christian?
Many of us come from Christian backgrounds of one kind and another, but many come to Quakerism from an agnostic or theist perspective, and others enrich our worship with their knowledge of and commitment to other traditions: Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, and Buddhist, to name a few of current attenders’ spiritual homes. Our mutual commitment is to honoring our Quaker history of spiritual seeking and “right action” — behaving in a way that is consistent with our shared values of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality and stewardship.
