Bakersfield California Temple

President Nelson announced a temple for Bakersfield, California, at the conclusion of the April 2023 general conference, less than four months ago.

Projected to be a single-story building of approximately 30,000 square feet, the temple is planned for a 13.07-acre site at the northwest corner of the intersection of Stockdale Highway and Jewetta Avenue in Bakersfield. The site will also feature a distribution center and new meetinghouse.
