The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serve as sacred spaces for eternal ordinances, covenant-making, and worship.
About Latter-day Saints Sacred Sites
For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, temples are the most sacred places of worship on earth. Unlike regular meetinghouses where Sunday worship services are held, temples are dedicated to special religious ceremonies that bind families together for eternity, provide baptism for the deceased, and allow members to make sacred covenants with God. The first temple of this dispensation was built in Kirtland, Ohio in 1836, and today there are over 300 temples operating, under construction, or announced worldwide. Each temple features the inscription "Holiness to the Lord — The House of the Lord" and is considered a place where heaven and earth draw closest together.
