West Grove Friends is the meeting place for the Religious Society of Friends (The Quakers). Part of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. All are welcome.
The meeting house overlooks the east end of town from its peaceful setting which includes a bird sanctuary and arboretum. It is located on a site occupied by a simpler original 1786 meeting house which was enlarged and remodeled in 1903 to accommodate the wider Quaker community. In 2002 another addition was completed providing more meeting rooms, a modernized kitchen, and handicapped accessiblility. The Friends' school building on its grounds is now the home of an active day-care center with strong Quaker ties.
The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) is a Christian fellowship based on common religious experiences and ideals rather than a creed, a ritual, or a liturgy of worship.
