Welcome

The Naperville Bahá’í community represents the local neighborhood of followers of the global, religious community called the Bahá'í Faith.  Founded in 1844, the Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world’s independent, monotheistic religions and includes over five million adherents from nearly every national, ethnic and religious background.
 
Our community has been in existence for more than 25 years.  It strives to serve the spiritual needs of the community by providing opportunities for prayer, spiritual education classes, interfaith discussion, and community service projects.
