Great Plains Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends Friends (GPYM) is a fellowship of Quaker meetings and worship groups in Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. GPYM is a diverse yearly meeting, embracing Friends from a broad spectrum of faith and practice. As a yearly meeting, we are part of Friends United Meeting. Two of our local meetings are directly affiliated with Friends General Conference; one of our meetings is dually affiliated with Evangelical Friends Church International. Our unity is the Spirit of Christ, who gathers us together in love and will show us our way forward as we humbly seek to know and live God's will for us.

We believe all people have access to "that of God" within them.

We bear witness to the testimonies of Friends, including:

  • Truth: integrity of word and deed and the seeking of the Truth.
  • Simplicity: keeping our attention on what is important to us and minimizing distractions.
  • Equality of all people before God.
  • Peace: we seek to live in a spirit of peace and work to remove the causes of war."
