The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has officially announced the future locations of the Flagstaff Arizona and Kahului Hawaii temples, according to a Tuesday release on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
First announced by the late President Russell M. Nelson in April 2025 general conference, the Flagstaff Arizona Temple will be located at the southwest corner of Butler Ave. and S. Fourth St., Flagstaff, Arizona.
Plans for the temple call for a single-story structure of approximately 18,850 square feet, according to the church’s release, and an ancillary building is planned to accompany the temple at its 10.43-acre site.
“Regular worship in the house of the Lord increases our capacity for both virtue and charity,” President Nelson taught just moments before announcing the Flagstaff temple in April of last year.
The Flagstaff Arizona Temple is one of the last 15 temples President Nelson announced during his ministry. It joins eight other temples that are either currently in operation, under construction or in planning/design stages in Arizona — a state home to nearly 445,000 Latter-day Saints.
As for the Kahului Hawaii Temple, it will be built on a 7.6-acre site located along Kuikahi Drive in the island of Maui.
Plans for the temple call for a single-story temple of approximately 19,000 square feet and an accompanying ancillary building, according to the church’s release.
The Kahului temple, to be the first Latter-day Saint temple on the island of Maui, was first announced by President Nelson in October 2023 general conference. And joining three other temples that are currently in operation, under construction or in planning/design stages in Hawaii, the Kahului temple will help serve Hawaii’s more than 76,000 Latter-day Saints.
