List of temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) are buildings dedicated to be a House of the Lord. They are considered by church members to be the most sacred structures on earth. When construction is completed, temples are usually open to the public for a short period of time (an "open house"). During the open house, tours of the temple are conducted, with members from the local area and missionaries serving as tour guides, and all rooms are open to the public. The temple is then dedicated as a "House of the Lord," after which only members twelve years of age and older[1] who hold a valid temple recommend are permitted to enter. Weekly worship services are not held in temples, but ordinances that are part of Latter-day Saint worship are performed within temples.
Within temples, members of the church make covenants, receive instructions, and perform sacred ordinances, such as: baptism for the dead, washing and anointing (or "initiatory"), the endowment, and eternal marriage, also referred to as sealings. Ordinances are a vital part of the theology of the church, which teaches that they were practiced by the Lord's covenant people in all dispensations. Additionally, members consider the temple a place to commune with God, seek His aid, understand His will, and receive personal revelation.
History
[edit]In 1832, shortly after the formation of the church, Joseph Smith said that the Lord desired the saints build a temple;[2] and they completed the Kirtland Temple in 1836. After the death of Joseph Smith in 1844, ownership of the temple shifted, eventually resulting in the Kirtland Temple Suit court case 1880. While the court case was dismissed, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS Church, now Community of Christ) secured ownership of the temple through adverse possession by at least 1901.[3] On March 5, 2024, the LDS Church and Community of Christ announced that ownership of the Kirtland Temple had transferred to the former as part of a $192.5 million acquisition of historic sites and objects.[4][5] Initially, the church constructed temples in areas where there were large concentrations of members: Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Hawaii (all in the USA), and Alberta (Canada). In the mid-20th century, because of the importance of temples in the theology, the church tried to balance density with the travel requirements attending the temple imposed upon members. Thus, temples were built in Europe (namely, Switzerland dedicated in 1955 and England dedicated in 1958); the Pacific Islands (namely, New Zealand dedicated in 1958); and Washington, D.C. (dedicated in 1974, the first American temple East of Utah since Nauvoo in 1846). All were dedicated at a time when membership in the region alone might not have justified the effort.
In the 1980s, church president Spencer W. Kimball (1895–1985) directed that smaller temples with similar designs be built[6] allowing temples to be built where there were fewer members. As a result, the first temples in South America (Brazil dedicated in 1978); Asia (Japan dedicated in 1980); and Mexico (Mexico City dedicated in 1983) were built and the number of temples doubled from 15 to 36.
Church president Gordon B. Hinckley (1910–2008) also accelerated the construction of temples through the use of an even smaller standardized base design.[7] In 1998, when there were 51 temples, Hinckley set a goal to have 100 temples in place before the end of 2000.[8] Between the brief building period from 1998 to 2001, 38 of these standardized temples were constructed and dedicated, meeting Hinckley's goal by having 102 dedicated temples before 2000 closed. During Hinckley's service as president, the number of temples more than doubled from 47 to 124.[9]
On October 7, 2018, Russell M. Nelson announced the intent to construct 12 more temples, putting the church's total number of temples operating, under construction, or announced above 200.[10] This high pace of announcement continued and by October 2022, the number of temples exceeded 300 temples announced, with 315. With 17 temples announced at the October 2024 General Conference, the church's total number of temples operating, under construction, or announced reached 367.
List of temples
[edit]The LDS Church has 367 temples in various phases, which includes 201 dedicated temples (192 operating and 9 previously-dedicated, but closed for renovation[11]), 3 scheduled for dedication, 48 under construction, 1 scheduled for groundbreaking,[12] and 114 others announced (not yet under construction).[13]

Under renovation
[edit]Temples in this section are closed for extensive renovation (where the closure is anticipated to last at least a year) or where the nature of the renovation work likely will require a subsequent rededication. An exception to this is the Melbourne Australia Temple, which closed in April 2024 and is expected to reopen in December 2024 after minor remodeling that will not require rededication.
