First, thank you for your interest in the Polynesian Cultural Center. Over 33 million people have visited our world-famous cultural theme park and enjoyed our unique introduction to the people and cultures of Polynesia. Providing visitors with an unforgettable experience is certainly one of our objectives, but the PCC also has a higher purpose:
In addition to helping preserve and showcase South Pacific island cultures, the Polynesian Cultural Center is a nonprofit institution founded by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (whose members are sometimes popularly called the Mormons or LDS) and dedicated to helping provide educational opportunities for students at the adjoining Brigham Young University Hawaii. Since the Center opened on October 12, 1963, nearly 17,000 students have financed their studies at BYU-Hawaii by working at PCC (To learn more about how to contribute to this cause, please click here).
The story of the PCC and BYU-Hawaii, which are also inextricably linked with the community of Laie and the Laie Hawaii Temple, actually goes back muc
저도 오하우에 놀러갔을때 여기에 갈려고 기대많이 했었는데, 이곳이 몰몬교에 의해 운영되는 곳이라는 것을 알고 그만두었어요. 그리고 그 돈은 몰몬교가 세운 대학으로 가도 있고요. 위, 아래글은 각각 polinesian cultural center와 brigham young university웹사이트에서 퍼왔어요. 상관없는 분들은 그냥 지나치셔도 되는데, 크리스챤이신 분들은 적지않은 돈을 이곳에 쓰기전에 한번 생각해 보셨으면 해서요.
Brigham Young University Hawaii—founded by prophets and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—exists to assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal life and in their efforts to influence the establishment of peace internationally.
We seek to accomplish this by:
- Educating the minds and spirits of students within an intercultural, gospel-centered environment and curriculum that increases faith in God and the Restored Gospel, is intellectually enlarging, is character building, and leads to a life of learning and service.
- Preparing men and women with the intercultural and leadership skills necessary to promote world peace and international brotherhood, to address world problems, and to be a righteous influence in families, professions, civic responsibilities, social affiliations, and the Church.
- Extending the blessings of learning to members of the Church, particularly in Asia and the Pacific.
- Developing friends for the University and the Church.
- Maintaining a commitment to operational efficiency and continuous improvement.
