During his general conference closing message on April 7, 2023, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Des Moines, Iowa. The Des Moines Iowa Temple is one of fifteen newly announced temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]
The Des Moines Iowa Temple will be the first in the state.
Des Moines is the capital and most populous city in the state of Iowa, with more than 200,000 residents. This Midwest U.S. state is home to more than 29,000 Latter-day Saints in about 70 congregations.
In the 1840s, nearly 200 Latter-day Saint pioneers established a small community named Garden Grove, where they planted crops and built cabins for the pioneer companies who migrated westward toward Utah in the ensuing years. Other communities were built at Mount Pisgah and Council Bluffs.
