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

Preparatory work is underway at the Missoula Montana Temple site ahead of next month’s groundbreaking ceremony. The property has been fenced off, and heavy equipment is actively clearing and grading the land in preparation for construction. Recent rainfall and low clouds over the surrounding mountains created a dramatic backdrop as crews continued earthmoving operations across the property for the future temple.

Elder José A. Teixeira, United States Central Area President, will preside at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Missoula Montana Temple on Saturday, June 6, 2026. The temple will rise on a 5.08-acre site located at the intersection of Old Bitterroot Road and Lower Miller Creek Road in Missoula. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 19,000 square feet with an accompanying ancillary building.
