Church Announces Locations of 385 Temples Worldwide, Including 222 Dedicated and 13 Scheduled for Dedication

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released six maps illustrating the global distribution of its 385 houses of the Lord as of September 2026. These maps include locations of dedicated temples, those under construction, temples scheduled for dedication, and those in planning stages. The visual representation highlights the Church’s ongoing efforts to expand its temple network worldwide.

Seven new temples are set for dedication within the next 30 days, including the Miraflores Guatemala City, Ephraim Utah, Managua Nicaragua, Montpelier Idaho, Cody Wyoming, San Luis Potosí Mexico, and Wichita Kansas temples. Additional dedications are planned for the following month in Torreón, Mexico, and Modesto, California, with one scheduled for December in Pago Pago, American Samoa.

The Church has also announced three temple dedications for the first part of 2027, including the Fort Worth Texas, Knoxville Tennessee, and Smithfield Utah temples. These expansions reflect the Church’s commitment to providing spiritual resources to members across diverse regions.

Construction is set to begin on three new temples this month: Maceió Brazil, Iquitos Peru, and Vienna Austria. Four more groundbreakings are scheduled for November, covering Cincinnati Ohio, Piura Peru, Cuernavaca Mexico, and La Paz Bolivia. These developments underscore the Church’s active engagement in temple-building initiatives.

Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles expressed gratitude for the rapid progress in temple construction, noting the spiritual significance of these projects. He highlighted the guidance President Dallin H. Oaks receives in advancing the Church’s work, emphasizing the role of divine direction in the expansion of the temple network.

Since the April 2026 general conference, the Church has announced new temple plans for Marysville, Washington, and Otavalo, Ecuador. These additions continue the Church’s mission to provide access to temple ordinances for members around the world. The ongoing growth of the temple network reflects the Church’s dedication to its global membership and spiritual objectives.
