Welcome to the Temple.

Raleigh Temple.

The Raleigh, North Carolina Temple completed construction and was dedicated in 1999. It was closed again in 2017 for a complete reconstruction and finally re-opened in September 2019 for an open house.

Over the course of 7 days, 40,000 visitors followed guided tours through the Raleigh Temple - an opportunity completely open to the public to see inside the edifice and learn about why Latter-day Saints attend the temple.

President M. Russell Ballard, acting President of the Quorom of the Twelve Apostles, joined our local congregations for the re-dedication where he prayed and the temple was again closed for interviewed members of the Latter-day Saint Church only.

purpose

Some gospel ordinances and covenants are so sacred that God permits us to receive them only in special places called temples. A temple is literally a house of the Lord—a holy place set apart from the rest of the world. In the temple, you learn more about the plan of salvation and how to follow Christ’s perfect example. God’s greatest blessings are available in His temples.

eternal families

Families are a big part of God’s plan for our happiness. We are born into a family. We aspire to build strong family relationships. Home can be a place where we feel support, safety, and love. God does not want family ties to end when we die. Because of temples, we can be reunited with our families in the next life.
