Promoting the cause of Baha’u’llah
Our community
The Bahai community of south Gwinnett is proud to serve the residents of our diverse county. Our members share an adherence to the Bahai faith as well as dedication to serving the local community, where we offer programs and events for people of all ages, races, and social classes.
The Baha’i Faith is the youngest of the world’s independent monotheistic religions. Founded in Iran in 1844, it now has more than six million adherents in 236 countries and territories. Baha’is come from nearly every national, ethnic and religious background, making the Baha’i Faith the second-most-widespread religion in the world.
