About Quakers:

Our formal name is The Religious Society of Friends. We believe there is that of God within each person. This Light Within has many names and we share the conviction that everyone can hear God’s voice directly, without mediation or formal rituals. Coming together to worship, we strive to cultivate this Light, centering or settling into silence, quieting our minds from outward distractions, waiting on God to light our way. Quaker testimonies are not considered beliefs, rather they are descriptions of our commitment to living our beliefs through committed actions – integrity, unity, equality, simplicity, peace, community.

All are Welcome!

A message from our Clerk, Jack Leshefka—

The La Jolla Friends Meeting is unprogrammed, that is to say we have no paid clergy or structured worship. Our Meeting for Worship consists of one hour of waiting in expectant silence. We believe that we have direct and immediate access to God, that no intermediary is required or necessary. Participants endeavor to still their busy minds and become open to the leading of the Spirit. From time to time, someone may be moved to rise and give a message which they have carefully discerned is for the gathered Friends. We have Meeting for Worship every Sunday at 10:00 A.M. and we encourage you to JOIN US.
