E. Friends Meeting
A Friends Meeting is composed of Christians who are freely united by common purpose and biblical convictions in worship, teaching, service, and public witness of the faith.
A body of members, fully established, is called a local church or local meeting of Friends. It functions under the supervision of its leadership and any pastoral staff members and exists to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:12-13 NIV).
