Children's Spiritual Education Classes
Children from all Faith backgrounds come together weekly in prayer, learning and service to others. Classes that focus on the unity of the human family are taught by parents and neighbors who have completed a sequence of courses from the Ruhi Institute, an educational curriculum with the goal of developing skills for a population in a neighborhood and/or village to take charge of their own spiritual, social and intellectual capacities and apply them in action to serve others.
It is important to mention that Bahá'í education is not instruction of indoctrination, but rather an education based in the perspective that all religions are from one loving Creator. The purpose of children’s classes are to teach children to think and reflect on the spiritual teachings of the loving Creator and apply them in home, school and community life to serve others. Lessons consist of memorization of prayers and quotations, songs, stories, games and coloring/crafts. In addition, the children of our community are actively engaged in serving others. Through support and encouragement from neighbors the children live in a community that fosters their moral and spiritual capacities.
