Bahá'ís of Salt Lake City
Community life

Community activities,
open to anyone.

Bahá'ís believe social change starts with spirituality — individuals unlocking their soul's desire for service and working alongside others for the good of their neighborhoods and communities.

The community is, in effect, a workshop — a place to learn, by doing, what it takes to build a healthier neighborhood. A few kinds of activity do most of that work. All are open to anyone.

A devotional gathering of friends sharing prayers and readings in a living room.
Devotional gatherings

A few minutes of quiet, together.

Friends from many backgrounds gather to read from the Bahá'í writings — and from the writings of every faith. Music, silence, a simple meal sometimes. Sunday mornings every other week — alternating between in person at the Bahá'í Center and online; plus gatherings in homes across the valley through the week.

Study circles

Learning by walking together.

Groups of friends work through a sequence of books drawn from the Bahá'í writings — a course of study about the spiritual and practical capacities a healthy community needs. Each book takes a few weeks; the path is open-ended.

Souls assisting and accompanying one another along a shared path, constantly widening the circle of mutual support, became the pattern to which all efforts aimed at developing capacity for service aspired.
