Port Moody Bahá’í Community
Welcome to the Bahá’í
Community of Port Moody
Building Vibrant Communities
Your Neighbors, Colleagues & Friends
The Bahá’ís of Port Moody are working alongside their friends and neighbours to apply the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh (the Prophet Founder of the Bahá’í Faith) to their lives, and to contribute and inspire good values in their communities. These teachings focus on the unity of humankind, celebrating diversity, and striving to achieve both spiritual and material prosperity through noble deeds and virtues such as kindness, integrity, courage, and justice among others.
According to Bahá’u’lláh's teachings, the various religions of the world stem from a common origin and represent different stages of a single religion revealed by God. In a global society challenged with achieving harmonious coexistence among people with diverse backgrounds, Bahá’u’lláh encourages humanity to abandon divisive attitudes and adopt a unifying vision for the future of society through His writings.
The Bahá’í Faith arrived in Canada in 1898 and has since expanded to encompass over more than 1000 local communities including Port Moody, embodying the nation's rich assortment of cultures, ethnicities, and languages.
“Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbour and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer to the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge...”
- Bahá’u’lláh
