Our Story
Born in 2025 from the merger of Friends Services Alliance and MHS Association, AQORD brings together decades of experience in service, stewardship, and community. Our organization was shaped by Anabaptist and Quaker values—traditions that honor peace, justice, simplicity, and care for others.
This merger was more than strategic—it was a commitment to deeper collaboration, collective impact, and shared mission.
Together, we nurture a community grounded in shared values that fosters:
Strength through meaningful connections
Excellence through continuous learning
Empowerment through quality resources
