Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints differ from meetinghouses or chapels, where members gather for Sunday worship services. Each temple is considered a house of the Lord, where Jesus Christ’s teachings are reaffirmed through sacred ordinances that unite families eternally. In the temple, Church members learn more about the purpose of life and make covenants to follow Jesus Christ and serve others.
More information about the purpose of temples, as well as downloadable, high-resolution photos and b-roll of the interior and exterior of the temple, is available at news-ph.churchofjesuschrist.org.
