The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released the site and rendering for the Chihuahua Mexico Temple. A rendering has also been released for the Buenos Aires City Center Argentina Temple.
Chihuahua Mexico Temple
The Chihuahua Mexico Temple will be built on a 5.87-acre site located at the corner of Avenida de la Cantera and Avenida Real Escondido, Reserva Territorial la Hacienda, Chihuahua, Chihuahua, 31216. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 19,000 square feet. This will be the state’s third house of the Lord.
Church President Russell M. Nelson announced this temple during the April 2024 general conference.
He said then: “Time in the temple will help you to think celestial and to catch a vision of who you really are, who you can become and the kind of life you can have forever. Regular temple worship will enhance the way you see yourself and how you fit into God’s magnificent plan.”
The Chihuahua Mexico Temple will be the 27th house of the Lord in the country. Dedicated temples in Mexico are found in Ciudad Juárez, Colonia Juárez, Guadalajara, Hermosillo, Mérida, Mexico City, Monterrey, Oaxaca, Puebla, Tampico, Tijuana, Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Veracruz and Villahermosa. There are also temples under construction or announced in Cancún, Cuernavaca, Culiacán, Mexico City Benemérito, Juchitán de Zaragoza, Pachuca, Querétaro, Reynosa, San Luis Potosí, Toluca, Torreón and Tula.
Mexico is home to more than 1.5 million Latter-day Saints in nearly 1,900 congregations. Missionary work began in Mexico in 1875.
