Houston Texas South Area Temple
During his general conference closing message on April 7, 2023, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a second temple in Houston, Texas. The Houston Texas South Area Temple, as it is currently designated, is one of fifteen newly announced temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]
The Houston Texas Temple was dedicated in August 2000 and rededicated in April 2018 following flooding due to Hurricane Harvey.
Located in the south-central United States, missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ first visited Texas in 1843. Church growth in Texas has been rapid in recent decades with 210,000 members in 2000 and more than 385,000 members today and around 750 congregations.
This temple will be the state’s ninth.
