On 5 October 2019, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Cobán Guatemala Temple at the 189th semiannual general conference. It will be the third temple constructed in Guatemala, joining the Guatemala City Guatemala Temple and the Quetzaltenango Guatemala Temple.
Missionaries first arrived in 1947 to the Central American country, which today is home to nearly 300,000 Latter-day Saints comprising 51 stakes and nearly 438 congregations.
On 25 May 2020, the location of the Cobán Guatemala Temple was announced. The temple will be a single-level building of approximately 8,800 square feet and will be built on a 5.4-acre site adjacent to 4a. Avenida 4-48 Zona 8, Barrio Bella Vista, in Cobán, Guatemala on the site of the meetinghouse for the Cobán 2nd Ward. Plans also call for a replacement meetinghouse and a temple patron housing facility to be constructed on site.
Also, on 25 May 2020, an official exterior rendering of the Cobán Guatemala Temple was released.
