Throughout time, Zion has been used to describe both Christ’s people — “the pure in heart”
Mirroring the pattern found in the temple, BYU-Pathway seeks to bring the Holy Ghost into students’ lives so they can become disciple leaders and contribute to building Zion (
- BYU-Pathway provides higher education to the “hidden many,” or those who have not traditionally had access to education, wherever the Church is organized.
- Students gain an education and grow in knowledge and truth.
- Students use all they’ve learned and experienced to serve as disciple leaders in their homes, the Church, and their communities.
"As we build disciple leaders and make the blessings of education available and affordable to more of God’s children — thus bringing the Holy Ghost more fully into their lives — we will assist in filling the world with truth and light and help bring an increasing number of the willing hearted and their families to Christ."

"BYU-Pathway is one of the resources the Lord has prepared for His great gathering ahead of His return to the earth. One of the ways this will happen is by helping students all across the Church deepen their discipleship so they can in turn build others and build the Church."

"Zion is everywhere the Lord has established His Church. It is a miracle that we can say today that BYU-Pathway is a school in Zion, wherever Zion is."
