Cincinnati Ohio Temple
During his general conference closing message on April 7, 2023, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Cincinnati Ohio Temple is one of fifteen newly announced temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]
The Cincinnati Ohio Temple will be the third house of the Lord in the state after the Columbus and Cleveland Ohio temples. Cincinnati is the third-largest city in this Midwest U.S. state, with a population of more than 300,000.
Kirtland, Ohio (located near Cleveland), served as an important center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1830s, where a temple was built but left behind as the Church relocated. Community of Christ transferred ownership of the temple on March 5, 2024.
Today, Ohio is home to nearly 65,000 Latter-day Saints in nearly 130 congregations.
