The Greater Huntington Beach Interfaith Council (GHBIC) was founded in 1996 in response to local hate crimes, led by the Mayor, and supported by city and faith leaders. It began with a small group of diverse faith representatives committed to promoting unity, respect, and human dignity.

 

Over the years, GHBIC has grown into a nonprofit organization hosting annual events like the Day of Prayer, Blessing of the Waves, and Community Service Day. It continues to unite the community through service, prayer, and interfaith collaboration, fostering compassion and understanding across Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley and surrounding cities.
