Temple (Latter Day Saints) - Other Denominations With Temples

Other Denominations With Temples

Five additional Latter Day Saint denominations have built temples:

• Joseph Smith's original Church of Christ built two temples, the Kirtland and Nauvoo Temples.

• The Church of Christ (Wightite) built a temple near Zodiac, Texas, about three miles from Fredericksburg, at a colony founded by Lyman Wight. The only remaining material infrastructure of the colony is the Mormon Mill cemetery near Hamilton Creek, about fifty miles east by north of Fredericksburg.

• The Apostolic United Brethren has had a temple in Ozumba, Mexico by at least the 1990s, as well as an Endowment house in Utah since sometime in the 1980s.

• The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), in 2004 built a temple at their new settlement near Eldorado, Texas. The foundation of the FLDS temple roughly matches that of the original Nauvoo Temple.

• The Righteous Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a denomination founded in 1978, built a pyramid-shaped temple on a “sacred hill” near Modena, Utah. This was the first time any of the polygamous Mormon fundamentalists sects built a temple of their own.
