"Bridging the Gap Between Man and God"

Hello Friends!!! We are a Quaker fellowship located in Fancy Gap,VA in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is a picture of us at a recent gathering. And no, it's not a church picnic, its a regular worship service. We meet at someone's house or public place like a park because a church is not a building, its people who are committed to loving God and loving one another. Someone asked Jesus once what the greatest commandment was, and this was his answer, " love God and love your fellow man. If we could all learn to do that, most of the problems in the world today would be solved. Again, welcome. Wander around as much as you like. We hope that you find something here that brightens your day or brings you a little closer to the loving Father who created us all. Shalom.

The Good news According to George Fox.... The Good News According to George Fox. There has been quite a bit of discussion in Friends’ circles over the past few years regarding our identity.  The question of who we as Quakers are today has surfaced among many different groups of Friends including North Carolina Yearly Meeting (FUM) of which we are a part. As we have worked together on determining who we as Quakers are today, we have been reminded  again that The Religious Society of Friends came into being because George Fox had a message that he believed the world needed desperately to hear...Click Here For More Information...

War - What is it good for? Absolutely nothing,  We condemn war as the greatest violation of the sacredness of human life and reaffirm our faith that ALL  war is absolutely contradictory to the plain precepts of Christ, and the whole spirit of His Gospel.  We hold that no argument of necessity or policy, however urgent or peculiar can avail to release individuals or nations from obedience to the teachings of Him who said, “Love your enemies.”

Equality & Diversity Quakers believe that there is “that of God” in every person, therefore all people of every race and national origin are God’s own children, and are equal in his sight, and we are called by God to work for equality and fair treatment for all.  In the words of Quaker John Woolman, “Friends believe that to labor for the perfect redemption from the spirit of oppression is the great business of the whole family of Jesus Christ in this world.”

The Environment We believe that all of creation is the sacred work of God and that it is our duty and responsibility to nurture and protect all of life as a precious gift from our loving Creator and to live in harmony and community with all of creation. 

What Is A Quaker??? What we do is seek to make the world a place where “God’s kingdom comes and his will is done, on earth as it is in heaven.  For more information about Quakers, see the text box on the main page

How We Worship... It’s pretty simple really.  Jesus said “where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”   And that’s what we do - we gather at someone’s house or in a park or some other place and allow him time and space to speak to us as we spend time in worship together.
