Rexburg area to receive second temple

The Upper Valley is getting another Latter-day Saint temple.

On Sunday, Church President Russell M. Nelson announced the Rexburg North Temple will be built. It will be the second temple in the community, and the eighth temple in the state.

EastIdahoNews.com reports Rexburg’s current temple was dedicated in 2008.

The other Idaho temples are in Twin Falls, Boise, Burley, Idaho Falls, Meridian and Pocatello.

According to a church news release, the Gem State is home to more than 460,000 members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in nearly 1,200 congregations.

The church now has 265 temples announced, under construction or operating.

One of the most recently completed temples is in Pocatello. It will be dedicated on Nov. 7.
