Sandy Spring Friends Meeting

Sandy Spring Friends Meeting Sandy Spring Friends Meeting, a Quaker faith community, welcomes you in your spiritual journey!

02/26/2026

Sandy Spring Friends Meeting is a warm and welcoming Quaker community in Maryland where all are invited to worship and belong. Friends gather in silence, in a beautiful historic meeting house where the community has worshiped together since 1817. The meeting is alive with connection and care—young families, a thriving First Day School program, shared meals, and joyful traditions like the annual Halloween festival that opens the doors to the wider community. Sandy Spring is a place where people are accepted as they are, children are nurtured, and community is built through care, reflection, and joy.
