Who are the Bahá'ís?
The Bahá'í Faith has been an active part of religious and social life in America since the late 1800's. We are a recognized advocate for spiritual solutions based on the Teachings of
Bahá'u'lláh on issues such as the elimination of all forms of prejudice with an emphasis on
race unity, the
equality of women and men, the
spiritual education of children,
and the establishment of world peace. Bahá'u'lláh is God’s Messenger for this day, a day in which all humanity is spiritually mature and can visualize the reality of uniting to build the Kingdom of God on Earth.
The Bahá'ís are part of a worldwide religious community united by the belief that there is one God, one human race, and one evolving religion. We invite you to join our
study circles, devotional gatherings, and
children's classes designed to assist you, your family, and the American society in a spiritual search for truth.

For more than a century, Bahá'í communities around the globe have been working to break down barriers of prejudice between peoples and have collaborated with other like-minded groups to promote the model of a global society. At the heart of our belief is the conviction that humanity is a single people with a common destiny. In the words of Bahá'u'lláh, the Founder of our Faith, "The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens."
Bahá'u'lláh taught that there is one God Who progressively reveals His will to humanity. Each of the great religions brought by the Messengers of God - Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad - represents a successive stage in the spiritual development of civilization. Bahá'u'lláh, the most recent Messenger in this line, has brought teachings that address the moral and spiritual challenges of the modern world.
