Our Guiding Principle
The Detroit Friends Meeting believes that there is that of God in everyone. All people can have a direct experience of the Divine, Spirit, or Inward Light individually and in shared worship. As Quakers, we try and live by our convictions and testimonies of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship every day in our actions. Our guiding principle is love.

Fundraising as of 31 August 2026
Visitors are welcomed regardless of age, race, differing abilities, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
Detroit Friends Meeting is an unprogrammed Meeting and Meetings for Worship are held in expectant silence, without a program or pastor. Each worshiper seeks to listen to the spirit of God within. If that spirit brings to any of us a message to share with others, a worshipper may give that message as vocal ministry.
Hybrid meetings are offered at 10:30 a.m. on every Sunday at our Meetinghouse at 19309 Greenfield Rd., Detroit, MI 48235. For a Zoom invitation to worship with us, please click on this link at 10:25 am on First Day (Sunday).

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
11/1/2025 Sadly, we have had to change our fundraising goal from $925,000 to $991,000 to accommodate unexpected plumbing costs, engineering costs, architectural costs, tariff costs and a DTE cost of $26,000 to upgrade to a 400 amp transformer with pole to handle our heat pumps and solar energy. We are committed to creating an environmentally sound building so we will continue to make our case for your support.
