Christ is at the center of Marlboro Friends Meeting directing our members to grow in the Spirit, to worship Him through our lives, and to set an example by ministering to the needs of those we meet in our daily walk.
We are part of the Religious Society of Friends and are referred to as Friends or Quakers. Quakers have five basic testimonies:
Simplicity
Quakers agree on the importance of living a simple life. Friends try to live lives in moderation in order to use their energies and resources toward constructive ends.
Peace
Quakers believe "there is that of God in everyone," therefore we should seek to love everyone, even our enemies. Quakers rarely participate in war.
Integrity
Quakers believe in a call to consistency between what a person professes and their actions. We strive to live out our faith through our practice.
Community
Quakers hold a strong connection to family and community. There is a conscience effort at work among Friends that seeks to foster a deeper, Christ-centered community among us, while inviting others throughout the world into that same spiritual and eternal fellowship.
Equality
Quakers believe that everyone is equal in the sight of God. We believe that the Inward Light of the Holy Spirit is at work in all people regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, age, or social status. This is why Friends seek to help people who are not being treated fairly by others.
