Who we are

The Scottsdale Bahá’í Community is part of the diverse population of the city of Scottsdale, a city of more than 240,000 residents. Though we are a relatively small community, we are strong, active, and united by a shared commitment to spiritual growth, community building, and fellowship. Our members come from many backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life, reflecting the core Bahá’í belief in the oneness of humanity and the beauty of diversity.

At the heart of our community life is the Scottsdale Bahá’í Center, a welcoming space where friends, neighbors, and families gather to learn, pray, and serve together. The Center is home to weekly and monthly activities that nurture both personal and communal growth, including devotional gatherings, study circles, children’s spiritual education classes, junior youth programs, community celebrations of Bahá’í Holy Days, and various opportunities for service.

All are welcome to participate—regardless of background, belief, or experience. We invite you to join us as we strive to build a more compassionate and unified community, society and world. Here, every person has a place, every voice has value, and every heart is embraced.

We welcome you.
