The Buddhist Women’s Association (BWA) is the temple's primary service group and the heart of our Sangha. The women of the BWA regularly prepare food for church events and services, maintain the facilities, teach younger members the fine art of Japanese food preparation, and actively serve our local community. This strong nucleus of women has initiated and coordinated many social, cultural, and fundraising activities throughout BCF history, and has contributed greatly to the vitality of the church.

As wives, mothers and grandmothers, they have encouraged and helped their families to understand the importance of the Buddhadharma by making religious programs available to everyone while continuing to cultivate their own personal and spiritual well-being.
