It has been 6 months since I most recently updated my temple prediction map. In a recent media interview, President Dallin H. Oaks indicated that many future temple announcements may occur at the regional or local level rather than during General Conference. However, it is likely that some announcements will continue in General Conference—particularly in areas with large Church membership (e.g., the western United States) or where regional announcements may be less practical (e.g., Sub-Saharan Africa). Moreover, there is an enormous number of planned temples that have yet to begin construction, including 50 with no site announcement and 55 with a site announced but no groundbreaking set.
Several variables are used to identify prospective sites for future temple announcements. These include: the size of the Church in a given area (stakes, districts, wards, and branches), the age of the oldest stake, growth trends, distance to the nearest temple, traffic and transportation considerations, temple square footage, the historical number of weekly endowment sessions, and member/missionary reports on activity, temple attendance, and convert retention. Altogether, there are 190 potential temples on the map (which is 4 potential temple sites more than the total number of potential sites identified in September 2025). Despite a growing backlog of announced temples, global expansion—particularly in Africa—continues to create strong candidates for future temple announcements. The following five locations have been added to the temples prediction map with this current update—all of which are in Africa and less likely temples:
- Gboko, Nigeria
- Mont Ngafula, Kinshasa, DR Congo
- Lusaka, Zambia
- Matadi DR Congo
- Nampula, Mozambique
Also, there were five locations that were moved from the less likely to be announced list to the more likely to be announced list. The following locations were moved from the “less likely” to the “more likely” category based on the following factors:
- Blackfoot, Idaho (steady growth in new stakes and wards in the Blackfoot and Shelley areas)
- Cotonou, Benin (third stake in the metropolitan area was just organized; rapid growth and remote location)
- Eldoret, Kenya (proliferation of branches and districts; first stakes in western Kenya highly likely to be organized in the next 1-2 years; remote location)
- Hurricane, Utah (steady growth in the number of stakes and wards)
- Luputa, DR Congo (rapid growth; two new stakes recently organized [one in Luputa, one in Ngandajika]; remote location)
See below for my top 20 most likely locations for a temple announcement within the next 6 months. It is unclear whether we may have many new temples announced in the coming months considering the significant backlog in temples in the earliest planning stages. Your predictions are appreciated and welcome in the comments.
- Angeles or Olongapo, Philippines
- Bo, Sierra Leone
- Port Harcourt, Nigeria
- Rigby, Idaho
- Lomé, Togo
- Southeast Salt Lake City, Utah (i.e., Cottonwood Heights, Holladay, or Sandy)
- Evanston, Wyoming
- San Pablo City, Philippines
- Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
- Ibadan, Nigeria
- Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
- Lilongwe, Malawi
- Santa Maria, Brazil
- Kimbanseke, Kinshasa, DR Congo
- Tema, Ghana
- Yopougon, Côte d’Ivoire
- San Luis Valley, Colorado
- Longview, Texas
- Lahore, Pakistan
- Luputa, DR Congo

Thank you, Matt, as always, for your great report. I take President Oaks at his word that the Portland Maine announcement method is a "pattern that we will follow as long as I have influence in determining those things. This does not change the pattern of decision-making or gathering facts and determining the agreeable timing and the need. And all those things will continue to be analyzed. But when it comes to making a decision from all those facts, the First Presidency will continue to make the decisions. But they’ll assign someone else to make the announcement in the place where the temple will be built."
Between that and the discontinuation of the Saturday Evening Session (which has stuck this time), the increased focus on four daytime sessions will be interesting to see. Because of President Oaks' exact wording, I don't anticipate temple announcements being made in General Conference going forward. That being said, I am happy to supply my April 2026 Masterlist of what I believe are the most likely area-by-area candidates for new temples.
Of course, I am coming to the question of prospective temple announcements as one who is not a Church growth expert, so Matt may be correct in his assertions in this post that some temples could still be announced in General Conference. I will continue to include such predictions every six months. I don't think I will do an area-by-area breakdown of more specific candidates going forward because of President Oaks' exact words. It will be interesting to see what happens with General Conference weekends going forward. Anyone with any questions about my masterlist can ask me about that here or on my blog. Thanks, Matt, as always, for providing such a great place for these discussions.
The site for the Flagstaff AZ Temple was announced on January 20, 2026. The site is on a hilly, slightly elevated 10.43 acres with numerous Ponderosa pines on the property. It is at the intersection of two heavily used residential roads in the city. It. Will serve two stakes in Flagstaff, and most likely Tuba City, Winslow, and Cottonwood stakes. Holbrook may remain in the Snowflake Temple District. Prescott and Prescott Valley stakes are equidistant to the Phoenix Temple. Page is a 1.5 to 2 hour drive from Flagstaff and is currently in the Red Cliffs Temple District in southern Utah, A 2.5 hour drive. A temple in Kanab UT would be a little closer, one hour and 15 minutes. The Flagstaff Temple will be a boon to build the spirituality of the members on the western Navajo Nation. Thankfully, opposition to the temple is low key in Flagstaff, mainly online. No announcement on groundbreaking yet.
Price Utah today dissolved 8 wards and went from 4 stakes to 2 stakes
Price Utah today went from 5 stakes to 2 stakes and dissolved 8 wards
I would take the proposed Mercia Spain Temple (6 temples) and split it with the Seville, Spain Temple, both with 3 stakes.
I would also combine your predictions for temples in Concord, NH and Montpelier, VT into one in South Royalton, VT. It is the site of the Joseph Smith Memorial (his birthplace), and would cover both the aforementioned stakes. The location is very close to where the two stakes meet. Both stakes are very rural, so many members in the concord stake are actually closer to South Royalton than they are to Concord! The challenge there is the church has been aging in those areas with fewer members to serve.
I know I'm saying a lot, but this is a passion topic for me. What do you think about Laredo, Texas? It's in a bit of a 'temple desert'. Just two stakes, but two more further upriver (on the American side). Also, I think you should add a middle category between high and low probability. Little Rock Arkansas, Pensacola Florida, and Charleston West Virginia would all go in that space, as each has three or four stakes and all are in 'temple deserts' too.
My predictions for this upcoming general conference but also includes any that are announced outside of conference between March through end of August.
My total track record from Oct 2023 to Feb 2026:
68 Announced
28 Top 20 (41.2%)
18 Somewhat likely 40 (26.5%)
46 Total for top 60 (67.6%)
https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1G7hdBBWl07qNmfixCPEyCf7dAOKzzjw&usp=sharing
Temples to be announced between April 2026 and October 2026 (since we don't know for sure if Conference will have announced temples):
Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire
Lomé, Togo
Bo, Sierra Leone
Kinshasa DR Congo #2
Angeles, Philippines
Santa Maria/Passo Fundo, Brazil
Pisco, Peru
Neuquén, Argentina
Marshall Islands

Jackson, MS
Henderson, NV
Rigby, ID
Little Rock, AR
South Lake, TX
Evanston/Lyman/Bridger Valley, WY
North Ogden/Pleasant View, UT
Renovation: Logan, UT (at opening of Smithfield temple)
Basically the same list I put together as last time minus Augusta, ME.
This was reported earlier today on another site.
"Several stakes discontinued in SE Utah
Price North Stake
Wellington Stake
Price YSA Stake discontinued
With those changes only 2 stakes remain in Carbon County, Utah which have been renamed to Price Utah East and West Stakes (formerly Price and Helper stakes). In total 9 wards discontinued and reorganized in some manner."
I am going to guess we will have 5-10 announced in conference. No guesses where, just the number announced.
Anyone watch the YouTube video where an Emeritus General Authority talked to President Nelson who wanted 600 temples. I can’t think of his name off the top of my head.
He was on the temple committee maybe chaired it. When President Nelson was in the twelve and he was Area Seventy accompanied him to a Stake Conference where they were to call a new stake president.
Elder Nelson asked him who the Stake President and Counselor should be. Both in agreement. But difference before President Nelson’s administration a site was secured before announced. Could hear rumors but no announcement until site occurrence.
With President Nelson city announced then they got to work on the sites. 49 of his announced locations still securing a site. Some locations it takes longer than others.
Will we ever know where the Russia, China and Uab temple will be located? Russia has missionaries but I think they are more discreet. Proselyting isn’t allowed in the Middle East. Members over there can attend church and live the gospel to the best they can just can’t do missionary work yet. With the Iran conflict may be tougher too to move forward with UAB.
China they are real strict with how you live there. Those that join abroad don’t meet with expatriates times government shuts down meetings there. If they ever get the temple going will be for nationals only and Chinese citizens with valid travel permit from Macau and Hong Kong.
When will we have headway for those three temples!
Things can change, but as I mentioned a few weeks ago, I personally think there's a good probability that 1-5 temples will be announced over this upcoming 6 month period (March 1-Aug 31).
I noticed 4 locations on Matt's top 20 is not on his highly likely list which has 23 temple locations. Namely:
4. Rigby, Idaho
17. San Luis Valley, Colorado
18. Longview, Texas
19. Lahore, Pakistan
Seven temples were both on my top 20 and also on Matt's:
Angeles Philippines
Port Harcourt Nigeria
Benin/Togo
Longview Texas
Evanston/Green River Wyoming
Luputa DRC
Salt Lake Valley
13 locations were on my top 20, but not Matts; Namely:
Neuquen/Trelew Argentina
Tacna Peru
Quevedo Ecuador Temple
Poza Rica Mexico
Southern Spain
Mobile Alabama
Arlington Washington
Charleston West Virginia
Madang Papua New Guinea
Resistencia Argentina
Henderson Nevada
Rio Branco Brazil
Kingston Jamaica
*See my reasonings why I placed each where.
The 13 that are on Matts but not mine:
Six were on my somewhat likely 40 list (not far off):
2. Bo, Sierra Leone
9. Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
11. Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
13. Santa Maria, Brazil
17. San Luis Valley, Colorado
19. Lahore, Pakistan
Five were on my 2nd group of 60 (top 120)
4. Rigby, Idaho
8. San Pablo City, Philippines
10. Ibadan, Nigeria
12. Lilongwe, Malawi
14. Kimbanseke, Kinshasa, DR Congo
None were on my 3rd group of 60
Two of Matt's Top 20 did not make my Top 180.
*Tema, Ghana. I didn't see the need due to the potential temple district being just a few stakes and how close it is to Accra Temple. Kumasi and Cape Coast will already take a good portion of Accra's district once complete. A Benin/Togo is the most ideal further split of Accra as it will remove these French-speaking countries from this English speaking Ghana Temple.
*Yopougon, Côte d’Ivoire. I didn't see the need due to lack of size of this potential district and how close it is to Abidjan Temple. If Abidjan district is to split, I think Yamoussoukro will be a more likely candidate due to distance.
Again, these are my personal thoughts an opinions. I have no insider knowledge.
Would love one in the Sandy/Cottonwood area (where I live; I work at the Draper temple), but I'm concerned that finding thousands of temple workers once Salt Lake opens will be challenge. Half of my dad's downtown stake moved out when the temple closed (he was stake president at the time) since they had no reason to live there to be temple workers anymore. I think it used to take 4000 workers to staff SL, and while that could be different with its new iteration, it still takes that many for Jordan River, and 2000 for Draper. Opening up lots of Utah temples requires not just patrons but enough staff
Thanks, Matt. I would still include São José dos Campos as a less likely option in Brazil, making São Paulo have the same dynamics as Mexico City (2-3 metropolitan temples and 4 cardinal temples in the surrounding area of the metropolis). There is demand for this possibility.

I did watch the video where the story of President Nelson wanting a lot more additional temples was included. It might have been Elder Wilson. The thing is the proposal was for 60 temples over I think the next 10 years (2018-2027 I guess). President Nelson asked to add a 0 to it. That does not clearly mean to go for 600.
Renderings were released for Culiacan Mexico Temple and Vienna Austria Temple. Also the location of the Charlotte North Carolina Temple has been moved 15 miles north-east. That puts Rock Hill, South Carolina back on my predicted temple sites plan.
Davao Temple has had its open house start. These are lower level progress than site announcements, ground breaking annoucements and dedication announcements but at least progress it being made.
President Oaks seemed to say in his interview before the Burley Idaho Temple dedication that additional temples might be announced soon.
The other thing Elder Wilson indicated is that President Nelson announced temples much earlier in the process of building them than some of his predecessors did. It may be that President Oaks and those working with him (the First Presidency and Temple Sites Committee among others) have a list of temples they are planning, but they have decided to hold off on new announcements until they are further along.
Even outside of Russia, Dubai and Shanghai with their unique issues, there is at least 1 temple announced in 2021 that lacks a location (Monrovia, Liberia) and multiple temples announced in 2021 that do not have a ground breaking date set (Vienna, Beira, Culiacan, Oslo).
I see both sides of the issue. On one hand it is good to start building people up by announcing a temple. On the other hand if it gets announced too soon people do get discouraged at how long it takes to be built.
I did notice the unofficial temples website has stopped including even estimated completion dates for temples under construction.
Maybe the most telling statistic is that of the 7 temples President Nelson announced in his first conference as president of the Church, 4 of them remain uncompleted. Russia still has no city (from what Elder Wilson said I suspect no city has ever been chosen, not just not announced). Managua Nicaragua has a president and matron called and will hopefully have it dedication announced soon. Cagayan de Oro is making progress, but might not be done for longer. The last I heard Bangalaru had had its constuction stalled. At least every temple announced by President Monson has been dedicated.
I will make predictions for the following temples, but have to admit I would not be surprised if we do not see many announcements until we get the temples without groundbreakings down below 100.

I like the steeple-less design of the Austria Temple that was just released.
It oughta fit in well with some of the iconic architecture in Vienna.
UAE was going to be where Expo 2020 was located so the site was kinda announced. Since then, it seems like talks fizzled, at least in the public view.
If every announced temple was in operation right now this temple would have 2 stakes, 6 districts, and several groups, mostly servicemen's groups within its temple district.
A couple potential stake consolidations to keep an eye on in the SL Valley. Sandy Utah West (6 wards) and Sandy Utah Mt Jordan (5 wards) both have stake conference August 8-9, no others listed. Midvale Utah Union Fort (6 wards), Midvale Utah Union Park (6 wards) and Sandy Utah Midvalley (5 wards) all have stake conference on June 12-13, no others listed. This is an area of the valley that has seen several stake consolidations in recent years. The unfortunate decline of member density of the Church in the SL Valley appears to be moving South.
Take the above comment with a grain of salt, I have been wrong before and sometimes stakes just have joint conferences.
I have added 2 new locations to my prediction list
Kykotsmovi, Arizona (Hopi Nation)
Pie Town, New Mexico
Pryp'yat' Ukraine
One thought on temple announcements. Bulawayo Zimbabwe; Bo Sierra Leone ; Port Harcourt Nigeria and Kinshasa Temple number 2 among probably several others are absolutely needed based on current temple locations and membership. However with over 100 temples awaiting groundbreaking the open question is are the very church departments and thr systems in place actually at this point capable of building more temples in a reasonable time than have been announced.
There are lots of reasons for how long temples take to be built. Not all of them are solvable by having more staff assigned to temples. Some of them are a function of it being a process to get local approval.
Much of this approval involves negotiations that are not done in the public eye, especially outside the United States and maybe a few other countries that have similar local participatory democracy models.
There are several things that can be done before a temple location is announced. These include buying a site, doing at least some preliminary engineering studies, and at least putting in place a project manager and maybe some other people in the construction team.
It will be interesting to see how things happen over the next few years.
It sounds like a consolidation to free up local members for temple service. I've heard of this being done elsewhere.
Other Matt here...
In regards to the recent Price Utah reorganization of stakes, here a comment from Reddit I found interesting. (That the reorganization needed to happen before the Price Temple could be built and how in the long run, this "pruning" will actual yield more growth in the area).
Reddit comment:
So yesterday we had a regional conference of the Carbon County Utah area and the area authority basically consolidated the wards and stakes. We went from like 20 wards and 4 stakes to around 10 wards and 2 stakes. (I don’t know the exact number). This is the first time in almost 30 years they have adjusted the boundaries in the area.
Let me tell you, they really mixed things up. I’m not opposed to the changes but it will be different for a while.
I say all this to preface the faith building part. The authority that visited basically stated that this is in preparation for the eventual temple in price and the second coming of Christ. He started that even though the temple has been announced it could not move forward until this step was taken, and now it’s on the members to hasten the work. He also stated that the time is coming in the area that people who aren’t members or less active will be strong members and eventual temple workers and sealers.
I was wary at first about the changes, but after praying about it, for the first time in a Loooong time I felt like the spirit confirmed to me that this was the right path for our area.
I often feel that this part of Utah is overlooked but I now feel that the lord knows us and is helping us progress.

Craig Shuler says,
There are several reasons for English-speaking stake and ward consolidations in the east part of Salt Lake Valley. Most of involves normal demographic changes that are more noticeable because there have been so many members and stakes here. The same trends have been happening with school consolidations.
- The Utah Area Presidency wants to have large, solid wards and stakes.
- Many active young single adults have moved to Utah Valley where housing costs less.
- Members per household have declined for decades as children of baby boomers grew up and move away, then one spouse is widowed.
- Shortage of and high cost of housing.
- More non-members and less active members have moved in, buying member homes, new homes, and renting in new apartments.

Going the other way in my comparison to matts, again we both share seven on our top 20 lists namely:
Angeles Philippines
Port Harcourt Nigeria
Benin/Togo
Longview Texas
Evanston/Green River Wyoming
Luputa DRC
Salt Lake Valley Utah (which I group as one "Wasatch Front" prediction.
That means 13 of mine was not on Matt's Top 20.
12 of those 13 were on Matt's "Less likely". namely
Arlington Washington
Mobile Alabama (Matt listed Pensacola Florida)
Charleston West Virginia
Poza Rica Mexico
Kingston Jamaica
Rio Branco Brazil
Quevedo Ecuador Temple
Tacna Peru
Neuquen/Trelew Argentina
Resistencia Argentina
Southern Spain
Madang Papua New Guinea
The only prediction on my "Top 20" list that did not make any of Matt's lists was Henderson Nevada. I chose this due to shear number of stakes (currently 32 in the Las Vegas Temple District) and reduction of commute, not just with Henderson stakes, but also those coming in from Kingman Arizona.

I have no temple predictions for the Middle East / Africa North Area and the Eurasia Area
Yes, it's bad in the whole SL Valley, except for maybe the far south/southwest areas (South Jordan, Riverton, Bluffdale, Herriman, Draper). In my area in Sandy, they are closing two elementary schools. No stake closures yet, but several ward closures have happened, and I bet a stake closure or two will eventually happen.

In these temple predictions, what about some existing Hinckley area temples getting the "Anchorage" style replacement?
I can think of Reno and Spokane and maybe some of the existing Mexican temples getting replaced with larger new temples.
New Stake Center announced for Greenville, NC. Lot contains an additional 8 acres not being used for stake center.
Very curious on the logic behind waiting so long for consolidations to the point that the changes are rather drastic? Looking at the recent consolidations in the Salt Lake Valley (stated that it's likely for dozens more stake consolidations) and Price, Utah, there were 5 stakes, 25 wards, and 2 branches (note: the Price YSA 5th Ward did not cover the Price area and met in Castle Dale, which is why the figure is not 26 wards) down to 2 stakes, 16 wards, and 2 branches. It paints the idea that this area was struggling, likely for quite some time, and it got to a point that multiple consolidations were required, instead of gradually as needed. Why not just get ahead of the point of being drastic?
I figure the majority of the Hinckley temples are about due for renovations, but some would definitely benefit from a complete re-do:
Reno Nevada
Nashville Tennessee
Louisville Kentucky
St. Paul Minnesota
Detroit Michigan
Guadalajara Mexico
Veracruz Mexico
San José Costa Rica
Porto Alegre Brazil
Melbourne Australia
I would say it may depend on the condition of the temple. The Hinckley mini temple was a one-size fits all design. A number - especially in humid areas had to be taken down to the studs and rebuilt. If it needs that then yes consider replacing.
However, another small or medium sized temple serving the other side of the metro may suit the metro better, cutting travel time, especially if the exiting temple condition is good to last.
I've seen people go less active in every realignment I've seen.
I get that, but still, 3 stakes and 9 wards consolidated is a ton of callings that members would have needed to fill just for them to function. I know 1 stake and 2 wards were YSA, which carries with it lowered calling requirements (no Primary, YM/YW, etc), but I can't help but imagine just how many people in that area having to serve in multiple callings. I can also imagine people going inactive just because of burn out from all those callings. I've never been to the area, so I have no clue how things were.
I don’t think we’ll see a temple announced in Salt Lake county for a very long time if ever given the size of the Salt Lake temple and shifting demographics in the area. Looking at the five temples with baptismal fonts, I think there’s a good chance the Queen Creek temple will get 2 fonts and maybe even the eventual Rigby temple.
Regarding temple guesses, I think it’s going to be harder to guess announcements in order. Not only because announcements won’t be coming in batches. Under President Nelson, I assume time-to-completion was factored into timing of temple announcements to the (often limited) extent possible. However, now it seems announcements won’t be made until land is secured and sometimes until preliminary discussions are had with government officials.
So even if our order based on merit is identical to the list at church headquarters, announcements will come in the order of securing land, etc. And then when an authority can announce it at a local meeting.
About 20,000 people live in Carbon County, which the two stakes now completely cover, with no area out of Carbon County (except maybe Scofield Branch, which is tiny ~10 members). Carbon is one of two historically non-LDS majority counties in Utah. It is less than 50% member total, of which probably half are active. Generously, that's 5,000ish active membership in the county, a decent number for two stakes in Utah. I drive through the area a lot, and was always perplexed by how one of the discontinued stakes (Wellington) could even be a stake. It is a tiny, rundown town that never seems to have anyone in it. I imagine the wards and branches have been getting smaller for a long time, consolidation was just pushed off until recently.
I agree, or at least I think that's what should happen. The SL Valley does not need another temple, as is.
I agree, or at least I think that's what should happen. The SL Valley does not need another temple, as is.
EDIT: I meant I don't see one being announced near the Salt Lake Temple, for example in the Cottonwood Heights/Holladay area. I could see one in Herriman in due course and eventually other areas after lots of new housing is built.
Discussions of Salt Lake getting another temple have to keep in mind the added space to the Salt Lake Temple is at least 100,000 square feet more which is more space than most of the New tenples in Utah have in total. Even though with full translation services the Salt Lake Temple will probably get lots if visitors from elsewhere just staffing the needed Temple workers to operate it will be a big ask. I of course am perpetually optimistic so I will not actually rule anything out, but since the church has finite resources I am not seeing another Temple for Salt Lake County as super needed when there are so many places in Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, DR Congo and Nigeria among many other countries with members further from temples or temples not being adequate to serve the members who are there.
On a totally different note Elder Bednar recently went to Rwanda where he met with the president. He spoke at an Inter faith meeting where he discussed The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints moving Gerhard despite government opposition. He dis ussex the freeze in Ghana when in 1989 the government of Fhana banned The Church of Jesus Christ if Latter-day Saints from operating. Elder Bednar then let the mission president John Koranteng speak. President Koranteng is from Ghana and spoke about hoe the freeze effected church members. President Koranteng would have been about 27 then, although I do not know when he was bsptized.
There is one branch in Jerusalem and a district of about 300 members in the country. What makes you think Jerusalem will get a temple?
Metro Detroit has more stakes and more members than metro Grand Rapids. The temple in Grand Rapids will be nearly twice as big.
To be fair Detroit Temple is about 300 square feet bigger than the reported size, so probably a full 11,000 aquarium feet since they enclosed an additional room at the entrance, maybe a little more than that. It has a coat closed and multiple seats.
Detroit is adjacent to the Bloomfield Hills Stake center which includes a family search center, a YSA gathering place and the office for the Detroit Temple facilities manager.
It would be possible to do exactly what was done in Anchorage will the Detroit Temple to end up with a much larger Temple. Considering the Detroit Trmple roof was redone in 2024 that might not be a top priority, but having a larger baptists with more space for people to sit, a challenge, a study room for Temple workers, bigger dressing rooms, a larger sealing room and another set of initiators booths as well as not having the matrons office and the brides room being the same as well as having an office with more space are all uses of space I can think of that would be very nice.
There are currently an amazing 1,750,000 square feet of operating temples in the state of Utah alone.

While people like to excuse "changing demographics" for the recent closures of ward and stakes in Salt Lake County. I don't think that really tells the full story. There are probably tons of members in Salt Lake County who feel marginalized, discounted, judged, harmed by current church culture (especially at the local ward and stake level). I hope instead of retreating, local and Area leaders could really do some self-reflection on how to change the church culture and approach (not necessarily church doctrine. two separate concepts) , so that more existing members of the church will want to stay active in the Church.
People often vote with their feet if they feel their needs are being met or not. And currently in church culture, there's often not enough safe places where church members can fully express their feelings, or places where members can find others who "get it" and understand their own lived experiences.
Last saturday I had stake pristhood meeting. There I learned that one ward (in Switzerland) in my stake had 25 baptisms last year (the stake had 76 in total). A few weeks ago the missionaries of that ward had 40 friends at church (thats a third or more of all the people attending). This numbers are carzcy for my area, but I have notied similar tends in my ward. Most of the last few sundays we hat between 8 and 15 nonmembers at church.
I’ve come across some interesting developments regarding the potential temple in Rigby, Idaho. The Church owns a large field directly across from Rigby High School, which they’ve owned for several years now.
Over the past year, representatives from the Church have appeared before the local school board to request access to water and sewer infrastructure. The plans they discussed would support a building roughly the size of the Idaho Falls Temple, another building about the size of a meetinghouse, along with several smaller structures. (Without publicly stating that it is for a temple or meetinghouse).
While this doesn’t confirm that a temple will be built, it does raise the question of what else the Church might be planning for that property if not a temple complex with an accompanying meetinghouse.
This is still entirely speculative, but the Church’s recent involvement with the Jefferson Joint School District board is definitely intriguing and worth noting.
9 wards discontinued is a doozy. I would assume that those must be some really full wards and stakes left coming out of this process.

Major announcement this evening, affecting the Sunday meeting schedule:
https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/changes-sunday-meeting-schedule
The purpose of these adjustments will be to strengthen and support the "Come, Follow Me" curriculum. The evolution of the Sunday meeting schedule is a key Church growth development, in my mind. My thanks once again to you all.
Huntsville Alabama Temple was announced with 2 stakes that will likely be in its temple district. It was originally announced to be 30,000 sq ft but that has been tailored back to about 22,681 sq ft. This is still more sq ft than the other two temples within 1.5 hour drive combined (10,700 sq ft each).
No announcements were made today on temples. Exciting to see the announcements. As for ones announced by President Nelson 28 were dedicated before his passing, four since and seven scheduled for dedication.
That will put temples he announced at 39 close to a 5th of the ones he announced dedicated. Eight more have construction completed with one nearing completion. That will be up to 47 when they are dedicated. Three more than a fourth of the temples he announced will be dedicated. Will we get to that milestone before the year mark of his passing?
Under construction only one with a scheduled groundbreaking. I’m sure there will be more announced.
Eight temples with groundbreakings yet to have full scale construction going on.
Of the 105 he announced yet to have a groundbreaking 56 have site announcements and 49 or close to a 4th of the temples he announced site location unknown.
2025 very few sites were announced. Hopefully the number will dwindle where we don’t know the sites. A few weeks since that was announced.
Russia, Uab, China will those sites ever be announced? Will sometime. When they announce rendering not something I get as excited about.
Renovated temples getting rededicated, site locations, grounbreakings and dedication announcements I am excited for that news myself.
The gospel caters to one's needs but not necessarily to one's desires. generation after generation has questioned this. Each person's needs are unique.
However, there are two other factors that contribute: population migration and Total Fertility Rate (TFR).
When people move into a metro, they tend to move to the city where the job is then migrate out to the suburb where the housing is cheaper. The membership ratio of the united states is roughly 2% (active and less active) which is less than the majority that is reported for Utah.
Also, birds of a feather tend to flock together. Non-LDS will flock to areas where there's others that are like-minded. For example, you don't have to be Chinese to live in Chinatown, but it does cater to those of that tradition.
LDS Families were large, then their kids moved to the suburbs and had their families. This household in the older neighborhood ended up with two instead of eight like it once had. But even in the suburbs, these children are having much fewer children than their parents.
Utah had a TFR that use to dominate the #1 spot every year by a good margin. It now ranks 9th in the US even with the US's TFR dropping each year. Just within the last 15 years, it has gone from 2.6 to 1.8 children per woman. To sustain a population in a developed country requires a minimum of 2.1 children per women.
I think these 10 locations are the most likely to get a temple. I think we'll see 1-5 temples announced this year:
Resistencia, Argentina
Pelotas, Brazil
Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Kinshasa #2 (Kimbanseke?), Democratic Republic of the Congo
Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
Neuquén, Argentina
Bo, Sierra Leone
Tacna, Peru
Poza Rica, Mexico
Huánuco, Peru
Other than the early Missouri announcements and Harrison New York (which efforts have been discontinued), are there any temples that were formally announced prior to President Nelson that are still awaiting dedication?
It looks like the Jacksonville State South has five wards meeting there, I wonder if there are plans for an additional meeting house between there and Saint Augustine?
Yes there is a new chap currently under construction inbetween those areas. Silver Mdws Rd, St. Augustine, FL 32092
I think that's it. Harare Zimbabwe was the last temple announced before President Nelson that hadn't been dedicated (other than those suspended announcements). The two temples currently in progress that I suspect may be suspended at some future point are Russia and Bengaluru India, where there are some worrying political realities that I think may prevent those temples from moving forward any time in the next ~decade. Obviously, I hope that's not the case!
I suppose I should post my predictions for new temples, given how close we are to Conference. These are my top 30 locations for this conference and the six months immediately thereafter:
Corrientes/Resistencia Argentina
Neuquen Argentina
Tucumán Argentina
Araçatuba Brazil
Pelotas Brazil
Santa Maria Brazil area
Sorocaba Brazil
Los Ángeles Chile area
Daloa/Gagnoa/Yamoussoukro Côte d'Ivoire
Luputa Democratic Republic of the Congo
Machala Ecuador
Otavalo Ecuador
Quevedo Ecuador
Takoradi Ghana
Blackfoot Idaho
Lilongwe Malawi
Aguascalientes Mexico
Poza Rica Mexico
Saltillo Mexico
Ibadan Nigeria
Port Harcourt Nigeria
Chimbote Perú
Tacna Perú
Angeles Philippines
Bo Sierra Leone
Taichung Taiwan
Lomé Togo
Cottonwood Heights/Sandy Utah
Barcelona/Puerto La Cruz Venezuela
Evanston Wyoming
As always, here is a link to my spreadsheet, which has this top 30 list as well as my next 50 and various less likely locations: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16fEj-5hfS38I50UUu_37kSZ9KyGRoukjeUBn-vwkcSo/edit?usp=sharing
Pago Pago American Samoa, technically, although the OG announcement was rescinded and then President Nelson announced a temple there himself.
Pago Pago American Samoa was first announced in 1977. It has not yet been dedicated. The plans were moved to Apia Samoa in 1980 so it is not like this has been a planned temple for the last 49 years, but the locations are distinct enough this probably does count.
Yes, the history is correct, but I would say the current Pago Pago American Samoa Temple was announced in 2019, as the original Pago Pago announcement was dedicated in 1983, just in a revised location as the purpose, intent, and coverage of the Apia temple is the same as the intent of the original. I know a handful of temples existing today that are in revised locations.
Thanks Johnathan,
The recent dedication of Harare Zimbabwe made me question if there was any other.
For Pago Pago, I think it was more of announcing the location to be moved rather than abandoned. There's a few other examples of this I can think of. Deseret Peak and Fairview are some recent examples. The new Pago Pago was officially announced in 2019.
I think Russia and India will eventually get temples, but with eventually being the key word. I think Bengaluru India will likely be the one built first between the two. I think an agreement will be reached so Bengaluru could continue construction within the next few years.
Among other recent ward changes, the Sandy Utah Granite Stake (511323), recently made several realignments. Both the Granite Ward (118559) and the
Legacy Park Ward (152269) were consolidated. At the same time, the Hegessy Ward (252018) was renamed the Albion Ward (252018). And the Meadowlark Ward (196371) was renamed the Falcon Ward (196371). FYI.

Virginia. 14) Sharon Vt. 15) San Jose de Cabo, MX. 16) Auguas Calientes, MX. 17) Cuatla, MX. 18) Kingston Jamaica 19) Barcelona, VZ. 20) Santa Maria, Brazil 21) Trewlew/Neugen Arg. 22) Reykjavik, IS. 23) Cardiff, Wales 24) Vilnius, Lithuania 25) Munich/Berlin Germany 26) Tirana Albania 27) New Dehli, India 28) Hobart, Aus. 29) Marshall Islands 30) Solomon Islands. I was going to add Augusta Maine last Fall. I don't know if I did. I did have 29 and that would have made an even 30. With the announcement of Portland, Maine, I went about looking for another site, I settled on Santa Maria, Brazil.
Question for you, Matt: For the last several years, the Church has released the statistical report for the previous year during the Saturday Morning Session, rather than during the Saturday Afternoon Session. With that in mind, when will you be posting your annual estimates for that report? Looking forward to that.
I am tempted to add the first Nashville Temple location as an uncompleted temple. Partially because I could see Nashville getting a 2nd temple. I am not sure that the original planned location would be the one chosen for a 2nd Nashville Temple.
Other temples that have had multiple sites are Tampa, Charlotte and Tegucigalpa. Tegucigalpa they moved the location after groundbreaking. Philadelphia technically counts as well, I believe but the move was only 1 or 2 blocks. Proposer/McKinney/Fairview had 3 names but only 1 announced site. Maybe there was at some point an initial plan for a location more in Proper that was never announced I do not know.
There is a way to argue President McKay prophesied the Neiafu Tonga Temple that is not complete. His prediction there involved Temple a congregation there in Neiafu HD had seen in vision a Temple "on these islands". The problem is that is an unclear statement. It could mean the Vava'u group; or all Tonga; or maybe all central Polynedia. Not all Polynesia since there was already a Temple in Hawai'i.
The Tonga interpretation is the only generally given, but with the Temple nearly done in Neiafu the city where President McKay made public this vision the more limited Vava'u group interpretation is also possible.
There were 91 new area dmseventies called and I believe 73 released. One is from Togo and another from Angola. Another is Mongolian and another an American I believe born in Mongolia. Mongolia and Togo I believe these are their first area seventies.
Charleston South Carolina looks ready to split. Which makes me think Charleston South Carolina is a strong candidate for a Temple to be announced.
I saw a comment predicting a temple renovation, and I have a similar one! I predict a large-scale renovation of the Dallas Texas Temple upon completion of the Fort Worth and Fairview Texas Temples (personal estimate, 2029-2030). It closed for a month in the fall for small renos and they closed it again just this week for more because then still had plumbing issues. A large-scale renovation could also address some awkward interior layout issues.
Acapulco México Temple
Morelia México Temple
Tirane, Albania Temple
I wonder when the Logan temple renovation will be announced. On one hand, it could be announced this year since the Smithfield temple is almost done being built. On the other hand, it may be announced next year given the magnitude of the Salt Lake temple project.

I have to admit I think northeast Texas will get 2 more temples announced in the near future. Probably a 4th in metro Dallas and one to the east.
If you go on the church website to schedule temple work for the Orlando temple, it notes the temple is closed but will reopen on Dec 2, 2027.
Interesting find.
No announcement has been made, just this on the website.
