About Ames Friends Meeting
Ames Friends Meeting is an open and welcoming faith community rooted in the Religious Society of Friends (Quaker) tradition. The meeting gathers for unprogrammed (silent) worship on Sunday mornings, seeking direct communion with God or the Divine Spirit through contemplative silence. Occasionally, members who feel moved by Spirit may share brief vocal messages with the gathered community. The Quaker tradition emphasizes spiritual equality, seeing that of God in every person, and this leads the community to engage in concerns for peace, social justice, non-violence, and environmental stewardship. Visitors are welcome to join in person at the meeting house or via Zoom, and will experience a listening culture characterized by openness, attentiveness, and deep spiritual connection without clergy, formal rituals, or programmed elements.
