City approvals allow the Church to begin initial site preparation work, including grading and the installation of underground utility infrastructure such as water, sewer and electrical service connections to the city’s existing systems. Design work on the temple continues, and a date for an official groundbreaking ceremony has not yet been announced.
The future temple will serve members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout North Idaho and the Inland Northwest.
Additional information regarding groundbreaking, construction timelines and future milestones will be announced as details become available.
Temples of the Church of Jesus Christ are different from meetinghouses or chapels where members gather for Sunday worship services. A temple is considered the most sacred space on earth, where the teachings of Jesus Christ are reaffirmed through marriage, baptism and other ceremonies that unite families for eternity.
