A complete list of all announced Latter-day Saint temples
After President Russell M. Nelson announced at the close of the 193rd Semiannual General Conference in October that 20 new temples would be built and ground was broken on the Modesto California Temple on Oct. 7, there are now 98 temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that are announced and awaiting location or construction.
Since 2018, President Nelson has announced 153 new temples, and the amount of time between announcement and groundbreaking — an average of 1.62 years — has never been faster, reported the Deseret News.
How many new temples announced in 2023?
In 2023, 35 temples have been announced — 15 in April and 20 in October. The same number was announced over April and October conferences in 2022.
Temples are considered a house of God for members, and a lot of excitement usually follows when the temples are announced, like a video of members in Papua New Guinea in 2019.
There are 335 total temples of the Church of Jesus Christ — 97 announced, 52 under construction and 186 dedicated (including those under renovation).
This is a comprehensive list of the temples that have been announced, but have yet to start construction.
