The St. Louis Missouri Temple

of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

The St. Louis Temple is the fiftieth temple built by the Church. It also symbolizes how much the fortunes of the Mormon Church have changed through the years. In the 1840s the Mormons were forced to flee Missouri and the governor of the state issued an extermination order allowing Mormons to be shot on sight. Now the Church has a new temple to show just how welcome it is in Missouri.

The temple was announced in December 1990.
Ground was broken and construction begun on 30 October 1993.
The cornerstone was laid and the temple dedicated on 1-5 June 1997.
There are 4 Sealing rooms and 4 Ordinance rooms in the 58,749 square foot temple.
The spire is 150 feet tall.
The Saint Louis Temple serves stakes in Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, and Arkansas.
