Church guide

Guests come to #LaieHawaiiTemple for many reasons—for the beautiful gardens and architecture, to learn about Church history at the visitors' center, and feel closer to Jesus Christ. What has brought you?

The statue of Christ stands at the center of the Laie Hawaii Temple Visitors' Center, portraying how Christ is central to God's plan for His children. With hands outstretched, the invitation is for all to come unto Christ. Christ speaks through an audio feature, available in over 30 languages, and promises that all who "listen to [His] words … shall have peace in [Him]." Experience His peace at the #LaieTemple.

When you feel like heaven is far away, come to the #LaieHawaiiTemple and visitors' center to eliminate distractions, feel peace, and reconnect with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. They love you! #Home

The Book of Mormon was translated into Hawaiian by missionary George Q. Cannon and early convert Jonathan H. Napela and published in 1855. Visit the Laie Hawaii Temple Visitors' Center to learn more about the Book of Mormon and see the original translated copy on display.

Ever wondered about the carvings on the top of the #LaieHawaiiTemple? They're called friezes, and they depict scenes from the Old Testament (west side), New Testament (south side), Book of Mormon (east side), and Restoration of the Church (north side). These friezes remind us that God has called prophets to teach His word, lead His Church, and testify of Christ throughout time, including our day. To learn more about prophets, come to the visitors' center or talk to us at http://bit.ly/2msGk9v.

A new MEET THE MORMONS film, "The Craftsman," is now showing at the visitors' center. The 20-minute video documents the story of Danny Sorenson, a former bishop and airplane pilot from Bountiful, Utah. It took Danny 14 years to build a plane. He said, "The whole time that I thought I was crafting this airplane, my Heavenly Father was crafting me." The visitors’ center is open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. #MeetTheMormons
