Welcome

A community of unity in diversity

The Bahá’í Faith teaches the oneness of God, the oneness of religion, and the oneness of humanity. Here in Philadelphia — the City of Brotherly Love — we strive to translate these principles into reality through devotional gatherings, study circles, youth programs, and community-building activities.

The Bahá’í Center on Bryn Mawr Avenue has served as the heart of our community for decades, while the Revell House, blessed by the visit of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in 1912, stands as one of the most significant Bahá’í landmarks in the United States.
