During his general conference closing message on April 7, 2023, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Cincinnati Ohio Temple is one of fifteen newly announced temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]

The Cincinnati Ohio Temple will be the third house of the Lord in the state after the Columbus and Cleveland Ohio temples. Cincinnati is the third-largest city in this Midwest U.S. state, with a population of more than 300,000.

Kirtland, Ohio (located near Cleveland), served as an important center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1830s, where a temple was built but left behind as the Church relocated. Community of Christ recently transferred ownership of the temple on March 5, 2024.

Today, Ohio is home to nearly 65,000 Latter-day Saints in nearly 130 congregations.

Location

The Cincinnati Ohio Temple is currently in the planning stages. NThis temple will be built on a 35-acre site located at the intersection of Mason-Montgomery Road & Cedar Village Drive, Mason, OH 45040. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 29,630 square feet. This will be the city’s first temple.
