Jain Center of Greater Sacramento (JCGS) has been established for 17 years. It is a unique membership-run, non-profit organization (Tax id# 9800905) incorporating the innovative and progressive life styles of Jain families in the Sacramento Valley while sustaining the religion with its roots back to 900 B.C. It represents about 65+ families. Our goal is to teach and promote Jain philosophy, values and rituals, thereby passing-on the faith and understanding to our next generation.
