Founded in 2009 by the Sikh Religious Society of Michigan, the Battle Creek Gurdwara was established to serve the growing Sikh community in the Kalamazoo and Battle Creek area of southwest Michigan. The Gurdwara was formed to share the Sikh Gurus' message with all seekers in the area, and welcomes people of all faiths to participate in prayers and Sikh religious ceremonies while observing Sikh Rehat Maryada.
