We welcome everyone to come learn about the temple. This includes members of the Church, members of the community, and anyone who just wants to see what a temple is about.
Temples are sacred buildings designed to help God’s children feel close to Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. Once the temple is dedicated, entrance is reserved for members of the Church. This open house is a unique opportunity for everyone to tour this sacred house of the Lord and enjoy the beautiful grounds.
