Locations announced for new Latter-day Saint temples in Idaho and South Carolina

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released the site maps and locations of future temples in Idaho and South Carolina. The Caldwell Idaho Temple, first announced in April 2025, will be built on a 19.2-acre site located at the southwest corner of West Orchard Avenue and South Florida Avenue in Canyon County, Idaho, according to a press release published Tuesday on ChurchofJesusChrist.org. Plans for the Caldwell temple site call for a multistory temple of approximately 82,000 square feet, accompanied by a meetinghouse and an ancillary building. The Caldwell Idaho Temple was announced in April 2025 general conference by then-church President Russell M. Nelson, and was one of the last 15 temples President Nelson announced before his death on Sept. 27, 2025. Ten other temples in Idaho are currently in operation, under construction, or in planning or design stages. Of these 10 temples, one — the Montpelier Idaho Temple — is currently scheduled to be dedicated this October. The Greenville South Carolina Temple, to be the state’s second Latter-day Saint temple, will be a single-story structure of approximately 18,850 square feet. It will be constructed on an 8.8-acre site located at the south intersection of Independence Boulevard/Ponders Road and Roper Mountain Road in Greenville, South Carolina. Like the Caldwell temple, the Greenville South Carolina Temple was also announced by President Nelson in April 2025. As the state’s second Latter-day Saint temple, the Greenville South Carolina Temple will join the Columbia South Carolina Temple (dedicated in 1999) in serving the nearly 47,000 Latter-day Saints that live in South Carolina.
