~Baha’u’llah, from the Bahá'í writings

“So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth”

Bahá'ís are part of a united worldwide religious community

Bahá'ís of the Chagrin Valley

 

Founded a century and a half ago, the Bahá'í Faith is today among the fastest-growing of the major independent world religions.  With more than five million followers residing in virtually every nation on earth, it is the second-most widespread of the world’s faiths, surpassing every religion but Christianity in its geographic reach. The Bahá'í Faith has been in the Cleveland, Ohio area since the early 1900’s.  We are a recognized advocate for spiritual solutions based on the teachings of Baha’u’llah, the Prophet-Founder of the Bahá'í religion.

Bahá'ís here are part of a worldwide religious community united by the belief that there is one God, one human race, and one evolving religion.  The teachings of Baha’u’llah address such issues as the elimination of all prejudice with emphasis on race unity, the equality of women and men, the spiritual education of children, the importance of family cohesion, and the establishment of world peace.  With the prayers and actions of a maturing humanity guided by a loving God, these teachings empower us to unite and help build the kingdom of God on earth.

We hope that you'll find the information contained on this site interesting and useful -- and that you'll be interested in meeting us in person.

We believe that the Bahá'í Faith is more than just a fascinating religion with principles designed for this age -- it is a guide to living a better life. All the Bahá'í Faith asks in return is your heart.

A warm welcome from the Bahá'í communities of Bainbridge,  Chagrin Falls, Gates Mills, Pepper Pike, and Solon, Ohio!
