 CAMPAIGN BCA-The 21st Century 
BCA's vision for the future calls for Jodo Shinshu Buddhism to stand forward as a major religious tradition in the United States—to be recognized by the general public and embraced by a multi-ethnic Sangha.The realization of this bold vision will require carefully planned initiatives in the coming years to create a more dynamic and vigorous Jodo Shinshu Buddhist community in all regions of the United States. Existing resources will be strengthened and expanded to bring about a flourishing Sangha that is supported by strong temples and an outreach ministry to raise the visibility of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism in local communities through service, education and leadership.
THE FIVE ELEMENTS:
In Spring 2003, the Buddhist Churches of America launched a capital development program to raise $30 million in new assets. Campaign BCA – The 21st Century invited BCA members and friends from all eight national districts to help fund the priority elements of the BCA Master Plan – approved by the National Board of Directors and National Council members to include the following five elements: Creating a Thriving Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Ministry
