About Millville Meeting

The first Millville Quakers worshiped in a log building constructed in 1795. In 1847 a new Meeting House was built with brick and continues to be the place where we gather.

 Today the Meeting House is still a hub of activity and a place to learn, grow, and meet with friends. In addition to our meetings for worship, we also provide regular educational programs, activities for children, and social times. 

Would you like to learn more about our meeting? Feel free to contact us. 

The Millville Friends Meeting is part of a larger collection of meeting houses from the surrounding geographical area, called the Upper Susquehanna Quarterly Meeting. This collective of meetings and meeting houses comprises Elklands, Huntington, Lewisburg, Millville, North Branch, Pennsdale, State College, Towanda and Wellsboro. 

Want to know more about Quakers? Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Faith & Practice includes advice on procedures within the faith, membership, current practice for conducting meeting business and numerous quotations from Friends on belief, worship, concerns, leadings, and testimonies. Also check out our Quaker Resources page. 

“Friends”? “Quakers”?

In the 17th century, the early members of a new sect in England called themselves “Friends of the Truth”. Outsiders often called them “Quakers”, referring to Friends whose voices quivered or “quaked” when they spoke in Meeting for Worship, sometimes from spiritual intensity. As their spiritual descendants, we are officially termed the “Religious Society of Friends”. We also have adopted the name “Quakers”. 

Children’s Program 

Currently, we have a children's program twice a month (we hope to return to weekly children’s programs in the near future). See What to Expect on this page for details.

Contact Us at least a day ahead of time to find out if we have a children’s program on an upcoming Sunday.)

Greenwood Friends School

Millville Meeting has a close relationship with Greenwood Friends School, an independent school. We host a monthly weekday Meeting for Worship for all students and adults at the School, and Millville Friends often join in the weekly Meeting for Worship at the School. Meeting hosts occasional social events for School families. Millville Meeting Friends volunteer in a number of roles at the School, from classroom assistants to Board members.
