Rendering of Montpelier Idaho Temple Released

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released an artist’s rendering of the Montpelier Idaho Temple.

The location of this house of the Lord was released in May 2022.

Latter-day Saints consider each temple a house of the Lord and the most sacred place of worship on earth. Temples differ from the Church’s meetinghouses (chapels). All are welcome to attend Sunday worship services and other weekday activities at local meetinghouses. The primary purpose of temples is for faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ to participate in sacred ceremonies such as marriages, which unite families forever, and proxy baptisms on behalf of deceased ancestors who did not have the opportunity to be baptized while living.
