About us
There is only one God. We are all one family.
In the midst of the turbulence of the world today, the Baha’i Faith can be a haven. The optimistic teachings of the Baha’i Faith answer essential questions about the human condition and the relationships that bind us together.
The founder of the Faith, Bahá’u’lláh, taught:
-
There is only one unknowable God;
-
All of the world's great religions spring from this same Divine Source;
-
True religion is the cause of peace and unity;
-
The next stage in the advancement of civilization, toward which we must direct all of 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.

Devotional gatherings
Devotional gatherings are for people from all faiths who want to increase their devotion to God, and increase their devotion to the well-being of their communities, by drawing on the power of prayer and the Word of God.

Informal discussions
Informal discussions to learn about the Bahá'í Faith are for people who have questions about, or would like an introduction to, the basic teachings, history, organization, and activities of the Bahá'í Faith.

Community service
Baha'is are involved - both individually and collectively - in a wide range of activities in service to our local, national and worldwide communities.

Children's classes
Children's classes (ages 5-11) provide spiritual and moral education to children of all faiths. Children are the future of everyday community and their spiritual education is among the most important services that can be offered.

Junior youth spiritual empowerment Program
Our junior youth spiritual empowerment program helps groups of youth from all faiths, ages 11-14, develop spiritual and intellectual capacities while channeling their energies into service to humanity.
