The year 2022 can be remembered as a year of many temple milestones for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
At the end of 2022, the Church currently has 300 total temples:
- 175 dedicated temples, including four under renovation,
- 56 under construction, and
- 69 announced that are still in planning and design.
And evidence of today’s accelerated pace of the Church’s global temple-building efforts, 14 of the 35 temples announced in 2022 already have site locations released, with two having exterior renderings as well.
In a three-part Church News series on temple milestones in 2022, Church News reporter Scott Taylor examines:
- Dedications and rededications over the past 12 months as well as those announced for the coming year
- Groundbreakings over the past year and total temples under construction as well as current and scheduled temple renovations,
- Temple announcements in 2022 and temples that are still in planning and design phases.
