There are two types of Quaker groups (congregations) in Pacific Yearly Meeting (PYM):
- Monthly Meetings (MM) meet weekly for unprogrammed worship and monthly to conduct business.
- Worship Groups (WG) generally only meet for worship, usually weekly but in some cases less frequently.
All are welcome to attend worship and other activities with these Meetings and Worship Groups. Most of them maintain information about their locations and meeting times on their own websites. It is best to consult their website and then make personal phone or email contact before planning a visit. (Websites are not always kept up-to-date.)
Most groups are named after the city they meet in, but quite a few are not. The following table is arranged alphabetically by city, not by meeting name. To find Friends groups outside of Pacific YM, try using FGC Quaker Finder.
Most of PYM’s local meetings are organized by geographic region into two larger quarterly meetings:
- College Park Quarterly Meeting (CPQM) comprises northern California and northern Nevada.
- Southern California Quarterly Meeting (SCQM) includes southern California and southern Nevada.
- PYM meetings in Hawaii and Mexico are not part of a quarterly meeting.
