Mission

The Church History in the Pacific and Asia Conference (CHPAC) is a joint effort between the BYU–Hawaii Faculty of Religious Education and the Faculty of Culture, Language, & Performing Arts. CHPAC encourages scholars and amateur historians alike to research, preserve, and disseminate the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Pacific and Asia. The CHPAC provides a venue for presentations of that research and CHPAC committee members develop and pursue opportunities to publish and disseminate said research to a broader audience.
