We are a Quaker Meeting based in Louisville, Kentucky and a branch of the Ohio Valley Friends Meeting. Our meeting house is located at 3050 Bon Air Avenue, Louisville KY, 40205. Worship begins at 10 AM, but Friends gather in social greeting starting at 9:45 AM with freshly brewed coffee and conversation.
Generally, Quakers believe that everyone has the potential to directly access the divine. Many of the particulars of how Quakers worship, act, and participate in the world stem from this belief. As with many faiths, Quakerism has branched in different directions over time. Groups o fQuakers may call themselves a meeting or a church. Friends may deeply ground their worship in the Bible or worship as Quakers without believing in God at all.
We start each Meeting for Worship service around 10:55am each Sunday with a “settling message” from a Friend that grounds us into our reflection for the hour. We then sit in Waiting Worship, speaking when we feel moved to do so, until noon when we then share prayers, thoughts, and concerns, and introduce ourselves to the meeting.

We’d love for you to join us whether you are a practicing Quaker, have experience in other Quaker Meetings, or have never even heard of Quakers before now. We hold weekly worship, monthly business meetings (to discuss formal aspects of our Meeting), and monthly community potlucks. Click below to view our shared calendar of events!
