Temple Announcement

On April 6, 2025, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Flagstaff Arizona Temple at the 195th Annual General Conference. It is the ninth temple announced for Arizona. Flagstaff is located about 150 miles north of Phoenix, Arizona, among one of the world’s largest ponderosa pine forests and next to the tallest mountain in the state, Humphreys Peak (elevation 12,633 feet). At the time of the announcement, there were approximately 450,000 Latter-day Saints in the state in around 925 congregations. The first members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints arrived in Arizona in the winter of 1846. Other temples in the state were the Gilbert Arizona Temple, Mesa Arizona Temple, Phoenix Arizona Temple, Snowflake Arizona Temple, The Gila Valley Arizona Temple, Tucson Arizona Temple, Queen Creek Arizona Temple, and Yuma Arizona Temple.²
