WHAT'S COMING UP

There is always something to gather for.

Pujas, festivals, family days, and community celebrations. Here is what is next at JCBC.

NEW TEMPLE EXPANSION

Our temple and community have outgrown their walls.

Our community keeps growing, and on festival days every corner of the temple is full. The New Temple Expansion will give us room to worship, celebrate, and teach together for generations. Thanks to this community, we are already most of the way there.

We are $0.6M away. Every donation, at any size, brings us closer.
