Receiving and obeying Christ's Spirit empowered early Friends to become obedient children of God, just as His Spirit has led faithful Friends since. Christ Jesus, the same and ever new, speaks to our condition today, and our hearts still leap for joy as His Spirit touches us. Rockingham Monthly Meeting, a member of Ohio Yearly Meeting of Friends, is formed as a spiritual home for those who will abide to Friends' principles and seek to be the servants of Christ among its members and amidst the world around us. In addition to members in Virginia, we have affiliate members elsewere in the United States, in Bolivia, and in Great Britain. There has been active visitation between resident and affiliate members.
Visitors are always welcome at Rockingham.
We love the Bible, believing it was written by people of God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. We believe in a free gospel ministry with no clergy over us. Each of us is a minster and pastor to all in the meeting. We gather in silence, waiting expectantly to be led by the ever-present Spirit of God. Any attender may be led to speak or pray by God's Spirit.
