“Do not be content with showing friendship in words alone, let your heart burn with loving kindness for all who may cross your path."
What Bahá’ís Do
​The Bahá’í Writings speak of the twofold moral purpose that every person has in their life: to better themselves, and to better the society around them. Because of this, the Baha’i approach to social transformation differs from most contemporary approaches, focusing less on material resources and more on the core of social change - the people. Our community is one of learning and action, free from any sense of superiority or claim to exclusive understanding of truth. We strive to cultivate hope for the future of humanity, to foster purposeful effort, and to celebrate the endeavours of all those in the world who work to promote unity and alleviate human suffering. Together we are striving to build a community that demonstrates practical solutions to the challenges of modern society.
What Bahá’ís Believe

​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 Divine Source and are in essence successive chapters of one religion from God. Bahá'ís believe the crucial need facing humanity is to find a unifying vision of the future of society and of the nature and purpose of life. Such a vision unfolds in the writings of Bahá'u'lláh.

Bahá’í beliefs address such essential themes as:
  • the oneness of God and religion
  • the oneness of humanity
  • freedom from prejudice
  • the inherent nobility of the human being
  • the fundamental equality of the sexes
  • the progressive revelation of religious truth
  • the development of spiritual qualities
  • the integration of worship and service
  • the harmony between religion and science
  • the centrality of justice to all human endeavors
  • the importance of education

​The Humboldt Bahá’í community is learning how to put these beliefs into action. You are welcome to join us in this adventure – through study, through working with children and youth, through prayers – and walk with all along a path of service.​

The Oneness of Humanity
All of the teachings of the Bahá'í Faith revolve around one central principle: that all of humanity was created as a single unit, like a family. Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, infused this principle into all of the spiritual concepts and social activities of the Faith.

The oneness of humanity sounds simple, but has profound implications when we explore the countless dimensions and layers of oneness.
