Ohio Valley Yearly Meeting is a faith community of 17 Quaker Monthly Meetings (congregations) in Indiana, Kentucky, and southwestern Ohio. We welcome you to join in worship and fellowship at the Meeting nearest you.
Our Monthly Meetings are grouped under two Quarterly Meetings:
- Miami Quarterly Meeting is made up of Monthly Meetings in Ohio and Kentucky.
- Whitewater Quarter‘s individual Meetings are all in Indiana.

Why are they called meetings and not churches?
Early Friends often had no dedicated place of worship, and called their gatherings "Meetings for Worship" to emphasize the spiritual, rather than physical, location in which they took place.
There are some modern Quaker churches. But Quakers who hold unprogrammed worship, like most of us in OVYM, follow this historical usage.
