Deep Creek
Monthly Meeting of Friends (Quakers) is a growing part of the Body of
Christ with an average attendance of 98. The Meeting had its beginning
in 1783. It progressed from a brush arbor to a log building in 1789 to
the frame building in 1900 now existing within the present brick
structure.
Historians will be interested in the two cemeteries located at the Meetinghouse, one with stones dating in the 1790's. Two cemetery books with grave listings are available - First through 1993 for $3.00, Second up through 2006 for $6.00. Both are for sale at Deep Creek; the newer one is for sale at Yadkinville Library.

Doctrinal Position
Deep Creek Friends Meeting is a fundamentalist Bible believing Quaker church. At Deep Creek Friends (Quakers) we believe:
- In one triune God, consisting of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that God created the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, perfect without sin (Genesis 1:27, "God created man in His own image") and placed them in a garden paradise called Eden.
- The enemy of all humankind, the devil, entered the garden and by deceit caused them to disobey God, thereby bringing sin into the world and separating humankind from the God who created them (Genesis 3:23, "God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden").
- We believe and teach that the power of God came upon the Virgin Mary; she conceived and gave birth to God’s Holy Son Jesus (Luke 1:35, "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee").
- God the Father loved humankind so much that He sent His only begotten Son to earth so he could suffer and die for the sins of all humankind, thereby making a way for people to be reunited with Him (Hebrews 9:26, "He [Jesus] appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself").
- Furthermore, we believe and teach that there is no other way for humankind to receive forgiveness and be saved from the wrath to come (Hebrews 9:22b, "Without the shedding of blood there is no remission [forgiveness] for sin").
- Jesus made a perfect sacrifice that was acceptable to God the Father for the sins of all humankind and now all a person must do in order to receive forgiveness is to repent of their sins in the name of Jesus Christ, asking God to forgive them (Acts 4:12, "There is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved").
