The Baháʼís of North Vancouver District, alongside our neighbours across the North Shore

On any given week across the North Shore, people are gathering in one another’s homes to pray, to help children grow in character, to talk about the questions that shape a good life, and to serve the place we all share. Some of us are Baháʼís. Many are friends and neighbours. We come together around a simple idea: that humanity is one family, and that the well-being of each of us is tied to the well-being of all. You are welcome to collaborate with us.

The Week at a Glance!

Prayers in the neighbourhood

Small gatherings in homes across the North Shore where neighbours read prayers, share music and often a meal, and sit together in a spairit of worship. Some are held in Farsi so that Persian elders can take part

Spiritual Education of Children

Where kindness, honesty, and generosity are learned as things you practise, alongside families who are often new to the community.

Study Groups for Youth & Adults

Neighbours studying together, and youth turning what they learn into something to share.

Empowerment of Junior Youth

Young people aged 12 to 15 taking on real service, from neighbourhood cleanups to setting up in a public space with hot chocolate and a board, inviting passersby to share what they love about where they live.  

These efforts grow out of the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh, founder of the Baháʼí Faith, who taught that the world’s great religions come from one God and carry humanity forward from one age to the next. If that resonates with you, you are in good company. If you are simply curious, you are just as welcome.
