In 1937 Shoghi Effendi wrote that Louhelen “is fair to develop into one of the leading and most promising cultural centers of the Cause throughout the United States.”

Founded in 1931, Louhelen Bahá’í School serves a broad range of Bahá’í educational and community development functions. Its growing schedule of National Teacher Training Center programs includes:  

• Teacher training
• Race unity facilitator training
• Parent facilitator training
• Marriage and family life
• Fundamental verities
• Youth and youth empowerment training

With increasing frequency, Louhelen provides meeting and conference facilities for various Bahá’í agencies and offices. Louhelen also is vigorously developing rental usage of the facilities during periods when the school is not fully occupied by Bahá’í groups. This is both a primary avenue of teaching and proclamation for the school, and a crucial element of additional operating revenues.

The addition of a new Louhelen Learning Center reflected the desire to create a flexible-use building able to serve the wide scope of programs it will attract. Construction on a new Assembly Hall (named Unity Hall), along with additions to rest rooms and administrative offices was completed in August 2001.

The Hall itself is filled with light. There are large windows on three sides, and windows even set on either side of the stage bringing life and light to the stage.
