In Latter-day Saint temples, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can feel closer to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Worshipping in the house of the Lord is a special, sacred opportunity where faithful members of the Church can participate in ordinances for themselves and on behalf of their ancestors. Temple schedules are open to every member with a temple recommend and making an LDS temple appointment can ensure that you have a place at the time you want to attend.
President Russell M Nelson taught, “I urge you to find a way to make an appointment regularly with the Lord-to be in His holy house-then keep that appointment with exactness and joy. I promise you that the Lord will bring the miracles He knows you need as you make sacrifices to serve and worship in His temples” (Russell M. Nelson, “Becoming Exemplary Latter-day Saints,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2018, 114).
Making an appointment is easy. To make a reservation, visit the Temple Appointment Scheduling page. When you arrive on the page, you will be prompted to select the temple you wish to attend. The default temple is the one for the temple district in which you live.
You can search for another temple outside of your temple district. After choosing the temple, you will be prompted to select the ordinance you wish to participate in. You can choose from proxy baptism, initiatory, endowment, and sealing. For those wishing to go to the temple for their own ordinances, please see Scheduling Living Ordinances below.
Once you select the temple ordinance, you will then be prompted to choose the time you wish to attend. At this point, you can see the temple schedule by selecting the date you want to make an appointment for. To finalize your reservation, review the information and note whether you wish to receive a confirmation email of your appointment. Please also mark whether you will need language assistance. Then click on Schedule Appointment.
In addition to the process outlined above, members who have access to LDS Tools can schedule LDS temple appointments using the app. To make temple appointments using LDS Tools, open the app and select More. Then select Temples; you will be taken to a page that shows the information for the temple district that you live in. Here you can make a temple reservation, schedule a temple ordinance, submit names to the prayer roll, and view family names that you can perform ordinances for under Ordinance Ready. Additionally, you can see any upcoming closures and hours of operation for the temple you have selected.
Members who will be receiving their own living ordinances (endowment or sealing) should make an appointment directly with the temple. These temple appointments should be made well in advance of the desired date. To schedule a living ordinance appointment and reserve the temple, contact the temple using the provided phone number.
