What Bahá'ís Believe
One God.
One unfolding religion.
One human family.
Bahá'ís believe the world's great religions come from the same source — that the founders of these faiths are successive teachers of humanity, each suited to the age in which they appeared. Bahá'u'lláh, whose name means "the Glory of God," is the most recent of these teachers.
The message is, in essence: there is one God, one unfolding religion, and one human family — and our job is to live in a way that makes this visible in our neighborhoods.
Read the longer version →i.
The oneness of humankind
All people are members of one family. The equality of women and men, the elimination of prejudice, the harmony of science and religion — not ideals to admire but work to undertake.
ii.
An independent search for truth
Each person investigates truth for themselves, unhindered by tradition or imitation. Faith is not inherited; it is found.
iii.
The end of every kind of prejudice
Race, nation, religion, class, gender — every line drawn around who belongs and who doesn't is a wound the world is asked to heal.
The Bahá'í Center
Come by and share in a
meaningful conversation.
Sunday gatherings are 10:30 to 11:30 am — about an hour of readings, music, and discussion. We meet every other week, alternating between in person at the Center and online. Open to anyone. No registration. Children welcome.
