Red Cedar Friends Meeting is in the process of building its own meetinghouse. Since its inception, Red Cedar Friends has used space at other churches and facilities to host its weekly meeting for worship. In 2005, Meeting purchased property on Turner Street in Lansing's Old Town Neighborhood with the intent to construct a meetinghouse.

The property is located north of Grand River Avenue adjacent to Goldenrod Music. The city of Lansing approved a special use permit allowing the building of a meetinghouse on the property. At present, the meeting is working to determine what type of building to construct based on our finances and current and future needs. We are striving to be as inclusive as possible to all members in this important project. A Building Committee has been formed to explore the building and design process and subcommittees have been formed to explore various aspects of the project.

One feature of a future meetinghouse that is important to members is that it be energy efficient and have as little negative environmental impact as possible.  A subcommittee has been formed to gather information on this topic and they have created a Web site to inform other Friends.
