You are invited to learn more about the Bahá’í Faith, its texts, and its practices and principles, in a friendly and thoughtful atmosphere, by participating in a study group near you.

Participants are presented with opportunities to enrich their lives and serve their communities.
All are welcome at devotional gatherings, which are meditative and prayerful meetings frequently held in homes. At a devotional gathering, you can expect to enter a warm and tranquil atmosphere, hear and read the Word of God from the Bahá’í writings and other holy texts, share uplifting conversations with new friends, and enjoy moments of reflection and peacefulness.
