What is New Association of Friends?
West Branch Friends has joined this group of other Quaker Meetings (churches) for fellowship and nurture. The above photos are from the Levi and Catherine Coffin Meetinghouse in Fountain City, IN, with murals of the Coffin family on the walls of the meetinghouse. One block away, the Coffin's home helped numerous slaves escape to freedom.

Testimonies
As part of the Society of Friends, we seek to let our lives speak our commitment to Quaker values:
Simplicity: Friends believe that the most important things in life aren't things.
Peace: Friends believe there is always a path that brings peace, justice, dignity, and respect.
Equality: Friends believe that every person is equally loved by God, no matter what.
Stewardship: Friends believe that all God's gifts are entrusted to us for the sake of future generations.
Integrity: Friends believe that our words and actions must reflect our truest selves.
Community: Friends believe that we need each other, since each and every one of us is precious in our community.
"All Church Reads" Book Discussion Groups open to all interested persons are held in the spring and fall each year.
