<p>On April 7, 2024, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Cincinnati Ohio Temple at the 194th Annual General Conference. The temple will become one of three operating temples in the state. The <a href="/columbus-ohio-temple/" onmouseover="showTip('columbus-ohio-temple')" onmouseout="unTip()">Columbus Ohio Temple</a> was dedicated in 1999 and rededicated in 2023 following an extensive renovation.

Kirtland, Ohio, located east of Cleveland, served as an important center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1830s. A temple was built at the time but was left behind when the Church relocated. The Community of Christ recently transferred ownership of the temple to the Church on March 5, 2024. </p>
