UPCOMING EVENTS
Overcoming Racism - Update Aug 31, 2025
Every month we gather... An essential element of the process will be honest and truthful discourse about current conditions of racism and their causes, and understanding, in particular, the deeply entrenched notions of anti-Blackness that pervade our society.
Two organizations that are addressing and working to overcoming racism in education are CREED and Down Home North Carolina. We will hear from each of these groups on the last Sunday in August at the Charlotte Bahá’í Center, 3415 Marvin Rd.
"Justice is a capacity of the human soul. It enables each of us to see the world through our own eyes and not through the eyes of others. It protects us from the blind imitation of tradition, from religious prejudice, and intolerance. Our capacity to be just enables us to treat others fairly and equitably rather than being concerned solely with our own self-interest. Justice is a true gift of God which involves us in the lives of others, brings us to rejoice in their happiness and grieve their pain."
Plan to join us - Sunday, August 31 @ 2pm

Twin Holy Days Celebration October 2025
The Báb and Baháʼu’lláh are revered as central figures of the Baháʼí Faith. Both are Manifestations of God in their own right. The lives and missions of the Báb and Baháʼu’lláh are inextricably linked. Together, these Divine Messengers are the twin Manifestations of God for this era.
In the Kitab-i-Aqdas, the central book of the Baháʼí Faith, which is the main source of Baháʼí law and practices, Baháʼu’lláh wrote that His birthday and that of Báb “are accounted as one in the sight of God.” The Festivals of the Twin Birthdays or the Twin Holy Birthdays refers to two successive holy days in the Baháʼí calendar that celebrate the births of these two central figures of the Baháʼí Faith.
Their birthdays are observed on the first and the second day following the occurrence of the eighth new moon after the Baháʼí New Year, which is called Naw-Rúz, and occurs on the first day of spring as determined in advance by astronomical tables using Tehran as the point of reference. This results in the observance of the Twin Birthdays moving, year to year, from mid-October to mid-November in the Gregorian calendar.
Who We Are
The Bahá’í Community
In thousands upon thousands of locations around the world, the teachings of the Bahá’í Faith inspire individuals and communities as they work to improve their own lives and contribute to the advancement of civilization. Bahá’í beliefs address such essential themes as the oneness of God and religion, the oneness of humanity and freedom from prejudice, the inherent nobility of the human being, the progressive revelation of religious truth, the development of spiritual qualities, the integration of worship and service, the fundamental equality of the sexes, the harmony between religion and science, the centrality of justice to all human endeavors, the importance of education, and the dynamics of the relationships that are to bind together individuals, communities, and institutions as humanity advances towards its collective maturity.
