Children's Classes
Aware of the aspirations of the children of the world and their need for spiritual education, Bahá’ís and their friends hold classes, open to all, focused on developing a strong moral character and a desire to serve all of humanity. Classes include singing, stories, and games, as well as service projects like making greeting cards for the sick and baking cookies for their neighbors. An annual Juneteenth camp is also organized for older children.

Junior Youth Empowerment
Junior youth (ages 11 to 15 years old) are supported as they navigate through a crucial stage of their lives and to become empowered to direct their energies toward the advancement of civilization. In addition to getting together in small groups to study and play, the junior youth plan and carry out service projects of increasing complexity.
Thursdays from 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Tuesdays from 5:30pm - 6:30pm
Study Circles
Bahá’ís and their friends are engaged in the systematic study of sacred writings of Bahá'u'lláh in an environment that is at once serious and uplifting. We strive to apply through a process of action, reflection and consultation the insights thus gained, and see our capacity to serve rise to new levels.
Saturdays from 10:00am - 12:00pm
Sundays from 10:00am - 12:00pm
Public Fireside Talks
Our community also holds seminar series and fireside talks to share basic principles of the Baha’i Faith and engage in discourse around major issues of the time. A recent speaker series, called “All from the Same Dust”, included talks on eradicating anti-Black racism, the movement of peoples throughout history, and the “other tradition” of racial amity in American history.
