As of 10 November 2024, there are also 52 temples under construction, and 115 temples that have been announced (not yet under construction) for a total of 367 Temples.

The following temples are currently undergoing renovations: Salt Lake Temple, San Diego California Temple, Kona Hawaii Temple, Stockholm Sweden Temple, Manhattan New York Temple, Anchorage Alaska Temple, Orlando Florida Temple, and the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple.
The relief and humanitarian efforts of the Church have helped bless the lives of millions around the world, regardless of faith, as it follows the example of its Living Head, Jesus Christ. Sadly, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is still greatly misunderstood, and many myths and falsehoods still exist. We hope that this site will provide information to those who visit hoping to gain knowledge about Latter-day Saints (nicknamed "Mormons"), either on a given topic in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ or simply about Latter-day Saints in general. Articles cover topics about such things as basic Latter-day Saint beliefs, Church doctrine, Church history and leadership, temple work, family life, Latter-day Saint literature, controversial topics, Church organizations, and humanitarian efforts.
