Experiencing the James Turrell Skyspace

Unfortunately, the skyspace will be closed until necessary roof repairs can be made.

We are in the process of addressing fairly significant structural repairs to the roof that may take several months to complete. Until the roof can be fixed, the skyspace will not be open for viewing on weekday mornings and Friday evenings. We will update this message as soon as the repairs are complete and the roof can be opened again.

We are a community of seekers. Quakers have no dogma or creed. A fundamental Quaker belief is that there is "that of God in everyone." For more information about Quakers and LOFM in particular, please see our information page.

LOFM was founded in 1954, and has been growing ever since. Our new meeting house is the conception of James Turrell, a well-known artist who is also a Quaker. The architect is Leslie Elkins. Many generous donors from Houston, around the world, and within the meeting helped us fund this new meeting house.

LOFM has about 75 attenders each week (plus or minus). Child care is provided. We have programs for both adult and children's religious education in addition to Meeting For Worship.

LOFM affirms that of God in everyone, and welcomes all those in loving relationships.triangle
