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

Groundbreaking services for the Wichita Kansas Temple will take place on Saturday, September 7, 2024. Elder Steven R. Bangerter, First Counselor in the North America Central Area Presidency, will preside at the event. The temple will be built on a 6.42-acre lot in The Moorings Plaza Fourth Addition subdivision. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 9,950 square feet.

Utility stubs are being installed at new Moorings Plaza development in Wichita where the Wichita Kansas Temple site is located. Contractors connect to these stubs to provide public utility services to their building projects, such as water, sewer, natural gas, and electricity. Establishing these services will bring the temple project closer to a groundbreaking announcement, but no announcement has been made yet.

Preliminary construction activity has been seen at the Wichita Kansas Temple site, preparing the property for the construction of the first house of the Lord in Kansas. The 9,950-square-foot temple will rise on a 6.42-acre site on North Meridian Avenue near I-235 in northern Wichita. No exterior rendering of the temple has been released, and no groundbreaking date has been announced.
