The Arch Street Meeting House is:

• A central part of PYM's, and Philadelphia's, history for over 200 years


• Home to a vital and growing Monthly Meeting


• A key form of outreach, bringing in over 40,000 visitors each year


• Available for special events, meetings, and other uses

The Arch Street Standing Committee is responsible for ensuring that the programs operating out of the Arch Street Meeting House provide the best support possible for the Ministry of the Yearly Meeting in outreach to visitors and as a home for the activities of the Yearly Meeting community and Monthly Meeting of Friends of Philadelphia. The committee provides oversight for the Arch Street Meeting House and its programs, and will develop a long range plan for the programs and property under our care.
