Welcome!

Thank you for visiting the Marin Bahá'í community's website. Here you will find information about our Faith, who we are, our regular activities, and how to contact your local Bahá'í community.

Interested in joining a Study Circle?
Bahá'í s in Marin are currently hosting a number of study circles where participants explore the teachings of the Bahá'í Faith. These study circles are based on the "Ruhi" curriculum, used world-wide. For more information, click here.

In Marin, many of our events take place in the homes of individual members of the community, with some large gatherings being held in rented facilities for the occasion. A Voice mail system is in operation which can be reached at (415) 458-8911 where you can leave a message to ask for more information about the Bahá'í Faith and to recieve notification of meetings within your area. Alternatively, you can e-mail us.

We invite you to learn more about our Faith - its unique perspective on the past, its profound understanding of the present, and its bright vision for the future.

The purpose of religion as revealed from the heaven of God's holy Will is to establish unity and concord amongst the peoples of the world; make it not the cause of dissension and strife.

— Baha'u'llah


Hamilton Children's classes

Sat. 26 Sep. 2009: As a response to the need for the Bahá'í community to be more outwardly focused so as to introduce its solutions to the world at large, a small number of Bahá'ís have been providing free children's classes in a new development in Novato. The neighborhood is built on the old air-base of Hamilton, and is a medium density housing estate. The class is simply held out in the open on a grass lawn, and has been in operation since October 2008. It introduces the children to the importance of developoing and using the human virtues with which we are all endowed at birth.

After today's class, during the cleanup, the volunteers were touched to find this little girl had written "I love this shool" on the white-board.
