About
BAHÁ’Í Faith
The Bahá’í Faith is a world religion based on the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh (meaning “the Glory of God”). Bahá’ís view religion as a progressive and evolving process which needs to be periodically updated and revitalized as humanity develops mentally, socially and materially. Bahá’ís believe that throughout history, God has sent to humanity a series of divine Educators—known as Manifestations of God—whose teachings have provided the basis for the advancement of civilization.These Manifestations have included Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Bahá’u’lláh, the latest of these Messengers, explained that the religions of the world come from the same Source and are in essence successive chapters of one religion from God.

Devotionals, or prayer gatherings, are taking place around the world where the importance of the spiritual dimension of human existence is being appreciated. These gatherings provide an opportunity for people of all faiths and backgrounds to come together in the spirit of love and fellowship, to meditate and share prayers in an informal yet respectful atmosphere.
Children's Classes
Education of children is essential for developing qualities that will lead to their moral and spiritual growth. Through learning moral qualities such as truthfulness, justice, love and unity, children learn to think and reflect on their lives and allow those qualities to guide their choices as they grow up. In addition, children learn about the lives of humanity’s spiritual teachers.

The belief system in junior youth program is that youth are capable of independently thinking and reflecting about the world and their place within it.
