Meetings for worship and study are held at [[Kingdom Hall]]s, which are typically functional in character, and do not contain religious symbols.<ref name=holdenhall>{{harvnb|Holden|2002|pages=64–69}}</ref> Witnesses are assigned to a congregation in whose "territory" they usually reside and attend weekly services they call "meetings", scheduled by congregation elders. The meetings are largely devoted to study of Watch Tower Society literature and the Bible. Jehovah's Witnesses have "considerable worldwide uniformity", as all congregations study the same materials on a schedule.{{sfn|Chryssides|2022|page=14}} Outsiders are encouraged to attend.{{sfn|Chryssides|2022|page=59}} 

Historically, congregations met three times each week, but since 2009 meet for two sessions each week: one on a weekday and one on a weekend.{{sfn|Chryssides|2022|pages=59, 61}} Jehovah's Witnesses are expected to study the assigned material before attending.{{sfn|Chryssides|2022|page=41}} Children also attend meetings and do not have separate arrangements such as [[Sunday School]].{{sfn|Chryssides|2022|page=30}} Gatherings are opened and closed with [[hymns]] called [[Kingdom song]]s and brief prayers.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Torres-Pruñonosa |first1=Jose |last2=Plaza-Navas |first2=Miquel-Angel |last3=Brown |first3=Silas |date=2022 |title=Jehovah's Witnesses' adoption of digitally-mediated services during Covid-19 pandemic |journal=Cogent Social Sciences |volume=8 |issue=1 |doi=10.1080/23311886.2022.2071034 |s2cid=248581687 |doi-access=free |hdl=10261/268521 |hdl-access=free }}</ref> A Kingdom Hall may have multiple congregations that share the building. In 2014, decisions about which congregations would share a Kingdom Hall or whether additional Kingdom Halls should be built was transferred from individual congregations to the nearest [[#Organization|branch office]]. After this change, many Kingdom Halls were sold.{{sfn|Chryssides|2022|page=28}}

Twice each year, Jehovah's Witnesses from a number of congregations that form a "circuit" gather for a one-day assembly. Larger groups of congregations meet annually for a three-day "regional convention", usually at an Assembly Hall built for this purpose. Rented stadiums or auditoriums are sometimes used instead.{{sfn|Chryssides|2022|page=68}} New members are baptized at these conventions.{{sfn|Chryssides|2022|page=99}} Jehovah's Witnesses consider their most important annual event to be the [[Memorial of Christ's death|Memorial]], which is observed on the [[Quartodecimanism|fourteenth day]] of the Jewish month [[Nisan]] during [[Passover]],{{sfn|Chryssides|2016b|p=433}} and members advertise the event to outsiders. [[Unleavened bread]] and red wine is passed between attendees, but only those who consider themselves to be anointed partake (often with no one in attendance partaking), and a talk is given about the event's significance.{{sfn|Chryssides|2022|pages=101, 102}}
