Temples
Kirtland
The Kirtland Temple was used by the main body of the church from 1836-1838. Unlike current operating LDS temples, the Kirtland Temple was used primarily for religious meetings rather than ordinance work. At the time of construction, none of the ordinances associated with LDS temple worship, such as baptism by proxy, had been instituted. It is currently owned and operated by Community of Christ.
