Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

The Rexburg Idaho Temple temporarily closed on Wednesday evening after an HVAC issue caused the building’s air conditioning system to stop functioning. The temple doors closed at 5:00 p.m. for repairs, and it was closed for much of Thursday with the hope of reopening on Friday. Members and patrons are encouraged to check the temple’s current operating status for updates as technicians work to restore the system.

The Rexburg Idaho Temple will close for extended maintenance from April 11 through July 4, 2022. "It’ll be so much better when we open up," said President Max Checketts, the temple president. "We’re just remodeling some spaces in the temple. We’re adding some spaces, so we can serve more patrons." Plans for the remodeling were made years ago, and some landscaping will be carried out on the south side. During the closure, patrons will be welcomed at any other temple including the nearby Idaho Falls Idaho Temple. Read the Rexburg Standard Journal news article.

During the annual maintenance closure for the Rexburg Idaho Temple, repairs are being made to the roof and stained glass windows, which have been damaged by the extreme temperatures that are common in the Upper Snake River Valley. The temple will remain closed through September 19, 2018. During the closure, patrons are encouraged to visit the Idaho Falls Idaho Temple.
