Temple Announcement

On April 3, 2022, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Wichita Kansas Temple at the April 2022 General Conference. This will be the state’s first temple. There are more than 38,000 Latter-day Saints in about 75 congregations in Kansas, a state located near the center of the United States. Wichita is the most populous city in the state. Missionaries first taught the native Shawnee and Delaware people in the Kansas area in 1831. The first branch was organized in 1882 in the central part of the state, east of Salina.1
