Nairobi Kenya Temple
A media day for the Nairobi Kenya Temple will be held on Monday, April 14, 2025, and invited guests will tour the temple on Tuesday, April 15, and Wednesday, April 16, 2025. A public open house will run from Thursday, April 17, through Saturday, May 3, excluding Sundays.
Elder Ulisses Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will dedicate the temple in one session on Sunday, May 18, 2025. The dedicatory session will be broadcast to all units in the temple district.
The Nairobi Kenya Temple was announced during the April 2017 general conference by then–Church President Thomas S. Monson.
The first African converts in Kenya were baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1979, supported by American USAID (United States Agency for International Development) employees and families serving in Kenya who held Church services in their own homes.
The Church received official recognition in 1991, and a decade later, the Nairobi Kenya Stake was organized on September 9, 2001 — the first stake in Kenya.
Today, Kenya is home to more than 19,000 Latter-day Saints in nearly 70 congregations.
