Children's Classes
|
Children are the most precious resource a community
has. Much like a young tree, children will grow and
develop in whatever way they are trained and according
to the influences they experience. Bahá'í children's
classes are intended to nurture spiritually vibrant
and healthy young people who will grow up without
prejudice and with a positive, powerful sense that
they are important to God and have a role to play in
serving humanity. |
The Teachings of Bahá'u'lláh form the
basis of these classes and introduce the Bahá'í Teachings
and those of other Messenger's of God to foster a fully
united, just and peaceful world.
The Writings of the Bahá'í Faith
affirm that spiritual education is at the heart of an
educational process that leads to the elevation and
transformation of the human spirit. It is through the
conscious effort of loving families, combined with a
systematic offering of classes based upon the guidance
that has been given to humanity by a loving God, that the
spiritual development of children can be nurtured and
developed. Hundreds of communities offer children's Bahá'í
classes in the United States, and many local classes are
offered weekly throughout the school year. Children's
classes are also offered at national and regional schools
across the country.
