Religious Education Committee
The FGC Religious Education Committee seeks to act as a catalyst for Quaker spiritual development at the monthly, quarterly and yearly meeting levels, as well as within individual Friends. We provide workshops, retreats and curriculum materials, and work through other FGC programs. Religious education programs have been central to the mission of FGC since its founding.
