Bahá'í Community Building
Building communities of genuine fellowship, worship, learning, and service is an essential expression of the Bahá'í vision.
The Bahá'í administrative order is designed to create communities that are models of the world civilization toward which humanity is moving — communities of genuine unity, active learning, meaningful worship, and dedicated service. Every Bahá'í community is intended to be a nucleus of the new civilization.
Let your vision be world-embracing, rather than confined to your own self.
Bahá'í community life is organized through the training institute process: study circles, devotional gatherings, and children's classes coordinated across neighborhood clusters.

- What the Bahá'í Faith says about community
Communities of fellowship, worship, learning and service are treated as the main expression of the faith rather than as support for it. The instruction given is to let your vision be world-embracing.
