Madison Monthly Meeting of the

Who We Are

The Madison Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends was formed in 1938 from a group that had been worshiping since the 1920s. It is affiliated with the Northern Yearly Meeting, which is composed of monthly meetings in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, and North and South Dakota. We are also part of Friends General Conference, an association of 14 yearly meetings and 6 directly affiliated monthly meetings. About 120 members and attenders worship at our Meetings for Worship each First Day (Sunday), where child care and a First Day school is provided. We also offer additional opportunities for worship:
