The LDS Church also uses a geographical division called a temple district. A temple district is a geographical area that is assigned to a church temple. Members residing in a temple district are asked to attend the temple that defines the district. Members may attend any temple of the church, but temple districts are designed to help members determine what temple is closest to where they reside. A temple district is defined by a list of stakes and districts.
