Bahá’í community life centers around spiritual, social, educational and artistic
activities which seek to foster unity among all peoples, elevate the human spirit
through devotion to the sacred, and strengthen bonds of fellowship between our friends,
neighbors, coworkers, and all whom we meet. Through activities such as study circles,
devotional gatherings, children’s classes and junior youth groups which are open
to all people, Bahá’í community life offers a model for the expression in action
of the universal brotherhood of man.
