The first Local Spiritual Assembly of Belfast was formed in 1950, and celebrated its fiftieth anniversary at the Belfast Castle in the year 2000.

The members of the community live and work in all parts of the city and represent a wide range of backgrounds, ages, cultures, interests and talents.

The community meets every 19 days (Nineteen Day Feast) to have a devotional (to pray, read the writings of Baha'u'llah, play music, sing), followed by consultation and then a social part.

The Baha'i Community also comes together to celebrate the Baha'i Holy days (9 throughout the year).

A variety of activities occur regularly in Belfast which the Baha'i community supports, activities such as devotional meetings, study circles and children's classes.

There is a Baha'i Society at Queen's University of Belfast, as well as a Belfast branch of the Association of Baha'i Women.
