Kampala Uganda Temple
The Kampala Uganda Temple was among the seventeen new temples announced by President Russell M. Nelson during the October 2024 general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Kampala Uganda Temple will be the country's first temple.[1]
President Fredrick Kyambadde of the Kampala Uganda North Stake expressed gratitude for a prophet of God and answered prayers. “We have been praying for this day,” he said in an email to the Church News. “We have seen so many of our members travel so many miles to go to the temple in other countries around us.”[2]
There are more than 22,000 Latter-day Saints in nearly 40 congregations in Uganda. Kampala is the capital and largest city in Uganda and is on the East African Plateau. While expatriate Latter-day Saints lived in and held meetings in Uganda as early as the 1960s, the first official congregation was established in the early 1990s.[3]
