Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter\u2011day Saints in Marysville, Washington, learned Sunday that a new temple will be built in their city.<\/p>\n
The announcement from the First Presidency was shared by Elder Hugo E. Martinez<\/a> of the United States West Area Presidency during a devotional in the Marysville Washington Stake.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are pleased to announce the construction of a temple in Marysville, Washington,\u201d the First Presidency statement says. \u201cThe specific location and timing of the construction will be announced later. This is a reason for all of us to rejoice and express gratitude for such a significant blessing \u2014 one that will allow more frequent access to the ordinances, covenants and power that can only be found in the house of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n This news continues the pattern established by the First Presidency in late 2025 that announcements of new houses of the Lord will be made on location<\/a> by a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles or a member of the Area Presidency.<\/p>\n This announcement brings the total number of temples<\/a> \u2014 operating, under construction, or announced worldwide \u2014 to 384.<\/p>\n \u201cThe doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints centers on the family. Essential to our doctrine on the family is the temple,\u201d President Dallin H. Oaks taught<\/a> in October 2025. \u201cThe ordinances received there enable us to return as eternal families to the presence of our Heavenly Father.\u201d<\/p>\n The temple in Marysville will be Washington\u2019s seventh. The others are the Columbia River<\/a>, Moses Lake<\/a>, Seattle<\/a>, Spokane<\/a>, Tacoma<\/a> and Vancouver<\/a> Temples.<\/p>\n\n\u00a9 2026 by Intellectual Reserve, Inc.
