Children's Classes are held on Sundays* at the Baha'i Center at 3808 Bardstown Rd., in Louisville.  The children will be released to their classes immediately following Devotions, which are scheduled to begin at 10:30am. 

Children are the most precious resource a community has. Much like a young tree, children will grow and develop in whatever way they are trained and according to the influences they experience. Baha'i children's classes are intended to nurture spiritually vibrant and healthy young people who will grow up without prejudice and with a positive, powerful sense that they are important to God and have a role to play in serving humanity.

The Teachings of Baha'u'llah form the basis of these classes and introduce the Baha'i Teachings and those of other Messengers of God to foster a fully united, just and peaceful world.

The Writings of the Baha'i Faith affirm that spiritual education is at the heart of an educational process that leads to the elevation and transformation of the human spirit. It is through the conscious effort of loving families, combined with a systematic offering of classes based upon the guidance that has been given to humanity by a loving God, that the spiritual development of children can be nurtured and developed. Hundreds of communities offer children's Baha'i classes in the United States, and many local classes are offered weekly throughout the school year. Children's classes are also offered at national and regional schools across the country. 

 A Baha'i Prayer for Children

O God!  Educate these children.  These children are the plants of Thine orchard, the flowers of Thy meadow, the roses of Thy garden.  Let Thy rain fall upon them; let the Sun of Reality shine upon them with Thy love.  Let Thy breeze refresh them in order that they may be trained, grow and develop, and appear in the utmost beauty.  Thou art the Giver.  Thou art the Compassionate.
-Abdu'l-Baha
