One God One Religion One Mankind

The essential message of the Baha´i Faith is unity. Bahá´u´lláh, the Prophetfounder, taught that there is only one God, that there is only one human race, and that all the world’s religions represent stages in the revelation of God’s will and purpose for humanity. In this day, Bahá´u´lláh said, “humanity has come of age.” As foretold in all the world’s scriptures, the time has arrived for the uniting of all the peoples into a peaceful and integrated global society. “ The Earth is one country, and mankind its citizens.”

We invite you to explore this message with us.

Please join us for informational meetings, devotional gatherings, or study programs.
