Let your vision be world-embracing, rather than confined to your own self.
The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.
The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established.
Welcome to the Houston Bahá'í Community
We, the Bahá'ís of the Houston area, are dedicated to serving humanity through the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith. We invite you to join us in our efforts!
The Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the major world religions. There are more than five million Bahá'ís in 235 countries and territories throughout the world. The Houston Bahá'í Community has Bahá'ís from a wide variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds.
Local Activities
Devotionals at our Bahá'í Center
Every Sunday morning at 10:30 A.M., we meet at the Houston Bahá'í Center to read sacred writings from scriptures of the major world religions, focused on a particular spiritual theme. We invite everyone to share prayers and songs of praise from their respective faiths.
The Bahá'í teachings
At the heart of Bahá'u'lláh's teachings is the principle of the Three Onenesses:
One God
There is one God, who is the source of life, love, and all perfections. Our purpose is to know and love God.
One Humanity
All the peoples of the world are as one family. We are all "the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch."
One Religion
Religion is progressively unfolding. Throughout history, God has sent various Messengers to humanity to educate us and draw us close to Him. The essence of the world's religions is one and the same.
