Welcome to the website of the Regional Baha'i Council of the Prairie States, serving Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.
The Universal House of Justice has explained that "at this time Regional Councils are responsible largely for overseeing the execution of the global Plan in the territories under their jurisdiction, in collaboration with the Counsellors and their deputies." They do this "by ensuring the steady advance of the two essential movements: the steady flow of believers through the sequence of courses offered by training institutes and the advancement of geographic clusters along a continuum of development."
