Flagstaff Arizona Temple
From MormonWiki
During his general conference message on April 6, 2025, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Flagstaff, Arizona. The Flagstaff Arizona Temple is one of fifteen newly announced temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]
Located 150 miles north of Phoenix, Arizona, the Flagstaff Arizona Temple will be the ninth in the state.
- Mark Moore, a Latter-day Saint and director for the Flagstaff Institute of Religion at Northern Arizona University, said a group of young adults saw the announcement and began jumping up and down with excitement. Phones began to light up with messages. Most of his students are from Phoenix and Mesa and have missed attending the temple as often as they once did due to the distance.
- “What a fantastic announcement,” Moore said. “The kids are in tears, they are just excited. They are excited to take their friends to an open house.”
- Right after the announcement, Moore said one of the local bishops sent a text encouraging the young adults to prepare for the temple by engaging in family history.[2]
