"The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established." -- Bahá'u'lláh

Is unity a distant ideal to be achieved only after the other great problems of our time have been resolved? Bahá’u’lláh says the opposite is the case. The disease of our time is disunity. Only after humanity has overcome it will our social, economic, political, and other problems find solution. Today, several million people around the world are discovering what He means.

The Bahá'í Faith is an independent world religion that believes in the unity of all peoples and all religions. For more information, see our contact information, monthly calendar of events and calendar archives, web links, community videos, and photos below.

The Bahá'ís of Statesboro & Bulloch County invite you to explore the Bahá'í message with us. You may contact us by phone at 912-764-3387, by e-mail at danrea@georgiasouthern.edu, and by mail at Bahá'í Community of Statesboro, Georgia, PO Box 2576, Statesboro, GA 30459.
