Updated August 11, 2026

Latter-day Saints worship in temples for several reasons: to make sacred promises with God, to learn more about God’s plan for His children and the central role of Jesus Christ in that plan, and to unite families for eternity.

Visitors of all ages are invited to a free public open house held for most new or renovated temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The open house includes a video and a walk-through tour of the temple. After the temple is formally dedicated, entrance is reserved for faithful members of the Church.

The Church now has 385 total temples — dedicated, under construction, in planning and design, or announced.

These include:

  • 209 temples in operation
  • 6 temples under renovation or reconstruction
  • 15 temples scheduled for dedication
  • 155 announced or under construction

The most recent temple dedications were for the Yorba Linda California Temple by President D. Todd Christofferson and the Willamette Valley Oregon Temple by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf.
