HOPE

in a chaotic world

Baha'is believe it is time for humanity to come together as one family.  The spiritual teachings of the Baha'i Faith inspire us to form deep and diverse relationships and build communities that nurture the well-being of all people.

The optimistic teachings of the Baha'i Faith answer essential questions about the human condition and the relationships that bind us together.  We welcome you to learn about the Baha'i teachings, and to connect and participate.

Together, we can shape a bright future.  You have a unique part to play.

 

ONE LOVING CREATOR

We believe there is one God, a loving Creator,  Out of love for humanity, God reveals Himself and His Will through Divine Educators, The Founders of the world's religions.  We can know God through studying the lives, scriptures, and guidance of these Holy Messengers.

 

ONE HUMAN FAMILY

We believe every person comes into the world as a noble and beautiful creation of God.  Our purpose in life is to draw closer to God by offering selfless service to others.  Together, we are all citizens and caretakers of one planet.

This core belief in oneness calls us to actively root out our prejudices and the systemic inequalities that divide people of different backgrounds, national origins, genders and social classes.
