Church President Russell M. Nelson announced a temple for Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Oct. 1, 2023, during October 2023 general conference. It was one of 20 temples announced at the conference — and the fourth for Colorado.
This will be the fourth Latter-day Saint temple in Colorado.
At the time of the Colorado Spring temple's announcement, the other three houses of the Lord for the Centennial State included the Denver Colorado and Fort Collins Colorado temples, both in operation; and the Grand Junction Colorado Temple, under construction.
