Southeastern Yearly Meeting
Quakers in Florida, Coastal Georgia & South CarolinaYou Are Welcome
We gather for spiritual renewal and friendship, and advocate for peace, social justice, and care for the earth.
Find Quakers
You are welcome at any of our Meetings and Worship Groups! We are a mix of newcomers and longtime members, with people of various religious backgrounds, gender identities and orientations.
Our Worship
Quaker worship is grounded in silence, where we listen deeply for what is in our hearts, for inner guidance, and a sense of connection. There is no program or sermon.
Our Faith
The heart of our faith is the experience of the inner source of spiritual connection, renewal, and guidance that is present in everyone. We have no creedal beliefs; faith is a way of life.
What we do
Southeastern Yearly Meeting brings together Friends from Meetings and Worship Groups in our region to share resources, deepen our faith, and work together to advocate for peace, social justice, and sustainability. We hold events in person and online, gathering for spiritual renewal, collaboration, friendship, and fun. We connect Friends to the wider Quaker community, and write and publish the SEYM Faith & Practice.
Worship with us on Sunday. All are welcome!

Queries for the Journey
What gives me strength to stay in the Light when so much tries to pull me from it?
The Worship and Ministry Committee offers “Queries for the Journey,” weekly queries to help Friends center in their daily journey through quiet, contemplative reflection. New queries will be posted monthly.

In what ways do I truly listen to the ‘still, small voice’?

When has love been my first response to misunderstanding or even violence?
3rd week:
How do I know the vulnerable throughout my day?
4th week:
At what part of a struggle does Spirit become my guide?
