Baha'i Faith

In the heart of beautiful Taranaki, nestled within a tapestry of vibrant communities, stands Baha'i Faith – a beacon of spirituality, unity, and service. Established with a vision to inspire hearts and enrich minds, we are a charitable trust dedicated to fostering an environment of shared values, mutual respect, and collective growth. Our journey began many years ago, guided by the principles of God's oneness, the essential unity of all religions, and the harmony between science and religion. We believe that the purpose of life is to know and serve God, to seek the well-being of humankind, and to strive for spiritual education and character development in children and youth. We welcome everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs, to join our regular devotional gatherings – a sanctuary where you can find solace, reflect on life's deeper questions, and reconnect with the divine spark within us all. Our meetings are more than just gatherings; they are opportunities for meaningful conversation, shared wisdom, and profound insights that resonate beyond the room. But we are not just a place of worship. We are also deeply committed to promoting employment opportunities and supporting local initiatives that foster social and economic development in our city. We believe that when we uplift each other, we uplift our community as a whole. Baha'i Faith is also a champion for interfaith dialogue, recognizing the importance of understanding, respecting, and learning from one another. Through these dialogues, we aim to promote peace, unity, and cooperation among all people – a message that is desperately needed in today's world. Our youth group, Baha'i Youth, plays a pivotal role in our community. They are the torchbearers of our vision, leading by example and inspiring future generations with their service, leadership, and dedication to making Taranaki a better place for all. In essence, Baha'i Faith is more than just a charitable trust. We are a family, a community, a beacon of hope, and a vessel for change. We invite you to join us on this incredible journey – a journey that transcends borders, beliefs, and backgrounds, and unites us all in the pursuit of a better world. Together, we can build a future where love, unity, and peace reign supreme. Welcome home.
