Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

The Kona Hawaii Temple will close at the end of the day on Saturday, September 30, for an extensive renovation and enlargement project. An updated exterior rendering for the temple has been released, which features a shorter steeple and no angel Moroni statue. Kailua-Kona is located on the western coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. The renovations are expected to be completed by late 2025.

In October 2023, the Kona Hawaii Temple will close for a major renovation that will increase the square footage of the building from 9,500 to approximately 12,000. The exterior appearance of the temple will also be updated. The renovations are expected to be completed by late 2025. During the closure, members of the temple district are encouraged to attend the Laie Hawaii Temple.
