The Honolulu Hawaii Temple is one of the newest temples announced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Once completed, it will become the fourth temple in Hawaii, joining the Laie, Kona, and Kahului temples. Located on the island of Oahu, the temple will bring temple blessings closer to members living in and around Hawaii's capital city while supporting the continued growth of the Church throughout the islands.
A Brief History
President Russell M. Nelson announced the Honolulu Hawaii Temple during the April 2024 General Conference on April 7, 2024. At the time of the announcement, Hawaii was home to approximately 75,000 members of the Church organized into 145 congregations, making it one of the strongest concentrations of Latter-day Saints in the Pacific.
The temple is currently in the planning and approval phase. As of now, no official site location, rendering, groundbreaking date, or construction timeline has been announced. Once these details are released, the temple will move into the next stage of development before eventually opening for a public open house and dedication.
What Makes This Temple Unique?
One of the most significant aspects of the Honolulu Hawaii Temple is its location on Oahu, Hawaii's most populated island. While the historic Laie Hawaii Temple has faithfully served members on Oahu for more than a century, the new temple will make temple worship even more accessible for members living in and around Honolulu and the island's southern communities.
The announcement also continues Hawaii's rich temple history. The Laie Hawaii Temple, dedicated in 1919, was the first temple built outside the continental United States and remains one of the Church's most historic temples. The addition of the Honolulu Hawaii Temple highlights the continued strength and growth of the Church across the islands.
Because no rendering has yet been released, the temple's architectural style remains unknown. Many members are eagerly awaiting future announcements that will reveal the design, location, and other details of this highly anticipated temple.
Visiting the Temple
The future Honolulu Hawaii Temple is still in the planning stage, and no official site has been announced. Once construction is complete, the Church will host a public open house, allowing visitors to tour the temple before it is dedicated. Additional information will be released as construction progresses.
