Spiritual Assembly

A Spiritual Assembly is a local governing body of the Bahá’í Faith, usually composed of nine volunteers elected annually by community members. It provides spiritual and administrative leadership, fostering unity, community service, and adherence to Bahá’í teachings. The assembly guides activities like study circles, charitable work, and socio-economic development, while ensuring decisions reflect collective prayer and consultation. It operates independently of religious hierarchies, emphasizing collective responsibility and the unity of diverse individuals within the community, aiming to promote spiritual growth and social harmony.
