Fairbanks Alaska Temple
President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Faribanks Alaska Temple at the October 2023 General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This will be the second temple in Alaska after the Anchorage Alaska Temple. The east-central city of Fairbanks has the second-largest population in the state.
In January 2023, the Church’s First Presidency announced that the Anchorage Alaska Temple would be reconstructed beginning in early 2024. A significantly larger temple will be built on the same property where a meetinghouse is currently in use. The existing Anchorage Alaska Temple is staying open during construction.
Alaska is home to approximately 35,000 Latter-day Saints across more than 80 congregations.
