At Poughkeepsie Friends Quaker Meeting, we believe the presence of young seekers brings fresh energy, curiosity, and hope to our community. Their voices remind us that the core of our faith — living with simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, stewardship, and most importantly, and love — continues to offer guidance and relevance across generations. We welcome all who feel called to explore the stillness with us. Join us every Sunday at 10am in the Oakwood Friends School Meetinghouse (or on Zoom) for Silent Worship!
