Our community activities

Join us in forging a new model of community life where spiritual conversation and service to others go hand-in-hand. Each of our core community building activities aims to foster inner transformation and create wider circles of inclusion. Together, neighbors cultivate a sense of collective ownership for the spiritual, social and economic well-being of their community.

Classes for children

Allow a community’s youngest members to practice their God-given qualities, such as kindness, generosity, patience and compassion. Parents, teens and young adults teach these classes and create an environment where children feel they belong to the community and share in its purpose.

Groups for teens and pre-teens

Tap into young people's acute sense of justice, growing awareness and increased interest in profound questions. Through storytelling, discussion, recreation, arts and service projects, participants form healthy and production patterns of behavior. They build discernment and decisions-making skills, and learn to address the needs of their communities.

Study cirles for adults and older teens

Connect the study of Baha'í Sacred Texts to acts of service. Topics include: the spiritual nature of life, the basic features and history of the Bahá'í Faith, how to build unified communities, and how to teach children and mentor youth. In their study circles, participants share insights with one another and design service projects relevant to their communities.

Prayer gatherings

Bring friends, families and neighbors together in a spirit of worship - feeding the soul through prayer, song and contemplation. Drawing strength from the cultural character of each community, they inspire meaningful connections in an informal setting.
