About us

There is only one God. We are all one family.

In the midst of the turbulence of the world today, the Bahá’í Faith can be a haven. The optimistic teachings of the Bahá’í Faith answer essential questions about the human condition and the relationships that bind us together.

The founder of the Faith, Bahá’u’lláh, taught...

  1. There is only one unknowable God.

  2. All of the world's great religions spring from this same Divine Source.

  3. True religion is the cause of peace and unity.

  4. The next stage in the advancement of civilization, toward which we must direct all our actions, is the establishment of a new social order founded on the principle of the oneness of humanity. 

Our local activities

The Bahá'ís of Bellingham and Whatcom County participate in various types of activities, many at a neighborhood level, which are warmly open to people of all backgrounds.
