The first record of Bahá'ís living in Bracknell was in the mid-1950's when Miss Lisa Grey and her sister who were then living in Sandhurst, both became Bahá'ís. The family moved away from the area and Lisa died recently but her sister is still alive and lives in New Zealand.

It was in October 1988, when there were nine Bahá'ís living in the area, that the community formed its first Spiritual Assembly, the local administrative body of the Bahá'í Faith.  From then until now, the community has worked to promote the Teachings and the Principles of the Faith.
