Wichita has a rich history with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, dating back to 1831 when missionaries began teaching the Shawnee and Delaware tribes. The establishment of the first branch in 1882 marked an important chapter in our membersheritage.

As you explore the Wichita Kansas Temple, take notice of the beautiful art glass that reflects our state’s nickname—the Sunflower State. You’ll see elegant representations of sunflowers and wheat stalks, celebrating Kansas’s agricultural roots.
