Welcome!

We invite you to keep in mind, “Everything that occurs in the temple is centered on the Savior Jesus Christ, His role as our Redeemer, and His desire to have us return to the presence of God,” as you learn more about the House of the Lord (ChurchOfJesusChrist.org).

You are welcome to use headphones for the video/audio portions.

What are Temples? What Happens in Temples?

“Each temple is a beacon of light and hope. The temple, the House of the Lord, stands as a symbol of our faith in life after death and as a stepping stone to eternal life for us and our families. The temple is a sacred and essential part of God’s plan for our happiness, now and forever” (Russell M. Nelson, 17th President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).

At one time or another, most people have wondered about the purpose of life. Who are we? Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where will we go after this life is over?  In temples, Church members learn more about the answers to these questions and God’s loving plan for the happiness of His children (ChurchOfJesusChrist.org).

Additional Resources

“God wants the best for His children and desires to give us His greatest blessings, which are immortality and eternal life. Because He loves us, He has provided a plan for us to receive these blessings. In the scriptures, this plan is called the plan of salvation, the great plan of happiness, and the plan of redemption.

“In God’s plan, each of us makes a journey through premortal life, birth, mortal life, death, and life after death. God has provided what we need during this journey so that after we die, we can eventually return to His presence and receive a fullness of joy.

“Jesus Christ is central to God’s plan. Through His Atonement and Resurrection, Jesus made it possible for each of us to receive immortality and eternal life” (Preach My Gospel, p. 47).
