Welcome to the Buddhist Churches of America (BCA)! We look forward to having you as a member.
Established in 1899 as the Buddhist Mission of North America in San Francisco, CA, and subsequently in 1944 as the Buddhist Churches of America in Topaz, UT, the BCA today consists of 59 temples and churches across the Continental US dedicated to fulfilling the educational and spiritual needs of those who have chosen to follow the Nembutsu path. BCA is one of several overseas districts of the Nishi Hongwanji-ha, the mother temple of the Jodo Shinshu (True Pure Land Buddhism) tradition in Kyoto, Japan.
