Temples are sacred places where we draw nearer to our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. Temples have been around for a long time. The Bible talks about temples in the time of Moses, Solomon, and Jesus Christ. Today, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints builds temples all over the world. Temples connect us to our families for eternity and give us peace, spiritual power, and inspiration as we prepare to eventually live with God.

Questions About Temples
How are temples different from churches?
How are temples different from churches?
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worship in meetinghouses around the world, and visitors are always welcome to participate.
Depending on the size of the congregation and other circumstances, these meetinghouses could range from a large brick church building to a rented storefront. In any case, these meetinghouses are where people gather together regularly for Sunday worship services, classes, social activities, and more.
Temples are set aside from the everyday world as sacred, holy places where we perform the ordinances that bind us to God and to our families for eternity. They are a place of deep reverence where Latter-day Saints who have prepared themselves for temple worship put away distractions such as cell phones and casual conversations to focus on God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Can anyone go inside a temple?
Can anyone go inside a temple?
When temples are first built or after they have undergone extensive renovations, open houses are held for the public so they can take a tour inside. After a temple is dedicated for sacred use, it is open only to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who have worked to prepare themselves for the experience. However, many dedicated temples have beautiful grounds and even visitors’ centers that are still open to the public.
