There have been Bahá’s in Oak Bay since 1969. Bahá’í means "of the Light". We are followers of Baha'u'llah who consciously strive to live our lives by principles of equality, justice, love and service to all humanity.
Bahá’u’lláh’s vision for humanity is sweeping in its scope, and calls for the unification of the entire human race. Every day, as more and more people come in contact with Bahá’ís they say, "Tell me more about what it means to be a Bahá’í. What is it that unites more than 6-million people around the world? And how can people from every conceivable nation, culture and religion have such a wonderful feeling of oneness with each other and with all of humanity? What is the source of their commitment to achieve true peace and brotherhood in the world? And how are Bahá’ís able to find that feeling of joy and freedom in their personal lives?" These pages provide a few answers.
We invite you to meet us and get involved in creating a civilization that is spiritual, progressive, peaceful and just.

Oak Bay Bahá’ís are part one worldwide Bahá’í community
Oak Bay Bahá’ís are part of a widespread, vibrant international Bahá’í community. In just over 170 years, the Bahá’í Faith has rapidly grown from an obscure movement to the second-most widespread religion on the planet. The worldwide Bahá’í community (now over 6 million strong) embraces more than 2,100 ethnic, racial and tribal groups in every corner of the globe. It is likely the most diverse organized group in the world, demonstrating that "unity in diversity" is indeed possible. Thanks to a binding covenant within its teachings, the international Bahá’í community is one united global organization, with no sects or divisions.
