Exciting news for the community of Flagstaff, Arizona! The highly anticipated Flagstaff Arizona Temple will be located at the intersection of Butler Avenue and South Fourth Street, set to grace 10.43 beautiful acres of land. Announced by Prophet Russell M. Nelson on April 6, 2025, this temple will feature an impressive total space of 18,850 square feet, all while sitting at a striking elevation of 6,828 feet.
As we eagerly await further details, it’s worth noting that there hasn’t been an official rendering released to the public just yet, and no groundbreaking or site dedication dates have been announced. The Flagstaff Arizona Temple marks a significant moment for the state of Arizona, being the ninth temple to be announced here!
Reflecting on the rich history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Arizona, it’s fascinating to remember that the first members arrived in the winter of 1846. At the time of the temple’s announcement, Arizona was home to approximately 450,000 members, with over 925 congregations thriving in the state.
