The Religious Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers, which we represent here at Chattahoochee Friends is a denomination or movement within the larger Christian community with a rich and interesting history. Originally a movement of the Holy Spirit in England, Quakers came to America and settled in Pennsylvania and other areas of the northeast. They soon also migrated southward into North Carolina. In time, Quakers spread across the country.

Today, Quakers generally have small congregations who meet together regularly to worship in what we call meetinghouses such as this fine and historic old schoolhouse, which now has become our meetinghouse. While we honor our past, we seek to be a lively and vital Spirit-led community that reaches out to all with a living faith and hope in Christ Jesus, our Teacher and Lord who has come to teach His people Himself.

A Quaker meeting for worship involves the congregation gathering at a pre-set time in order to wait silently, remembering the promise of our Lord that where two or three are gathered together in His name, there He is in the midst of us. As led by the Holy Spirit, Friends may rise to sing, pray, read scripture, or minister in word to fellow believers, if they sense the Lord has truly given them something to share at that moment. All are welcome to worship with us.
