University Friends Church History
History of University Friends
Friends University opened September 21, 1898, and it seemed good to everyone to start a church on campus. The first meeting for worship took place on October 16, 1898, in the Davis Administration Building.
University Monthly Meeting of Friends (known as University Friends Church or University Friends Meeting) met on campus until a building was built just east of the campus at the corner of University and Glenn. The building was begun in 1925 and completed in 1926.
On October 10, 1926, the group assembled at Friends University, then processed together down the street to continue worship in their new building.
The Education Building was added in 1962.
University Friends is a member of two major groups of Quakers: Evangelical Friends Church-Mid America Yearly Meeting (part of Evangelical Friends Church International) and Great Plains Yearly Meeting (part of Friends United Meeting). Only two churches in the world are members of both E.F.I. and F.U.M.
University Friends Meeting has a rich and vital past. Looking to the future, we are working to become a strong center of spiritual vitality by encouraging members to develop their gifts and strengths in order to bless others.

Teach us to serve Thee
Teach us, good Lord, to serve Thee more faithfully; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labour and not to ask for any reward, save that of knowing that we do Thy will, O Lord our God.
