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

Preliminary utility and infrastructure work to support the future Yuma Arizona Temple will begin soon, following approvals from the City of Yuma. The approvals allow the Church to begin initial preparation work on the nearly 7-acre site, located at the corner of East 36th Street and South 8 East Avenue in Yuma. This includes grading and the installation of underground utility infrastructure such as water, sewer and electrical service connections to the city’s existing systems. Design work on the temple continues, and a date for an official groundbreaking ceremony has not yet been announced.

The location for the Yuma Arizona Temple has been announced as a nearly 7-acre site located at the corner of East 36th Street and South 8 East Avenue in the City of Yuma. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 18,500 square feet with an accompanying ancillary building. There are currently six dedicated temples in Arizona, and plans have been announced for the three more in Yuma, Queen Creek, and Flagstaff.
