The Bahá'í Faith is an independent world religion based on the spiritual and social teachings of Bahá'u'lláh. Since its inception in the mid 1800s, it has grown to include more than five million followers, in 236 countries and territories. Bahá'ís believe in one loving Creator, the oneness of  religion and the oneness of humanity. Bahá'u'lláh's teachings offer hope to a divided world by promoting unity, equity and justice, and include:

• The inherent nobility of each human being
• Independent investigation of truth
• Elimination of all forms of prejudice
• Equality of women and men
• Harmony of science and religion
• Universal education
• Spiritually guided solutions to economic disparity

The Courtenay Bahá'í Community is working tirelessly to promote individual and collective spiritual transformation through devotional gatherings, study circles, and the education of children and youth. Baha'is and friends are exploring how to translate Bahá'u'lláh's teachings into action for the betterment of our local community and the world.

We invite all to investigate the Bahá'í Faith, and welcome all to collaborate in community building with us.
