Caldwell Idaho Temple
During his general conference message on April 6, 2025, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Caldwell, Idaho. The Caldwell Idaho Temple is one of fifteen newly announced temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]
The temple to be built in Caldwell will be the third in the Boise, Idaho, metropolitan area. The Boise Idaho Temple was dedicated in 1984 and the Meridian Idaho Temple was dedicated in 2017. The Caldwell Idaho Temple will be the 11th temple in the state.
Idaho is home to more than 475,000 members of the Church in over 1,225 congregations. Early Church pioneers settled in Idaho in 1855. Several Church presidents are natives of Idaho, including Presidents Harold B. Lee, Ezra Taft Benson, and Howard W. Hunter.
- Bishop Duane Call of the Caldwell 5th Ward in the Caldwell Idaho East Stake was “pleasantly surprised” to hear the announcement.
- “I thought we might have one someday, but figured we were still a few years away. We are already so blessed to have temples nearby in Boise and Meridian, and the addition of one in Caldwell will make it even easier for members in our ward and stake to attend more regularly.”
- The bishop continued: “I feel so privileged to live in this time and witness the hastening of the Lord’s work in this area and throughout the world. For me, this new temple can’t get built fast enough, and I can’t wait to follow the updates through to its completion and dedication.”[2]
