The Bahá'í Faith has been an active part of religious and social life in America since the late 1800's.  The Faith advocates for spiritual solutions based on the Teachings of Bahá'u'lláh ("Bah-HAUoh-LÁH").  These teachings center on timely issues such as the elimination of all forms of prejudice (with an emphasis on race unity), equality of women and men, spiritual education of children, the importance of family cohesion, and the establishment of world peace. 

Bahá'u'lláh taught that there is one God who has progressively revealed His will to humanity.  Each of the great religions brought by the Messengers of God - Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad - represents a progressive 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.

The Bahá'ís are part of a vibrant, growing 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.
