Welcome, Friend.
We are grateful you are here and hope you’ll come be with us in person, or join us each week for our online meeting for worship. We worship in gathered silence without prearranged service or any programming from a designated clergy, minister, rabbi or priest.
North Columbus Friends Meeting (NCFM) is a Quaker gathering that shares the peace, love, and light of the divine in the world. We welcome seekers and believers of all faiths and embrace diversity in our community. Our meeting is part of Lake Erie Yearly Meeting https://leym.org
