The Bentonville Arkansas Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) under construction in Bentonville, Arkansas. The Bentonville Arkansas Temple will be the LDS Church's first temple in the state of Arkansas.[2][3]
History[]
On October 5, 2019, during the church's general conference, church president Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Bentonville Arkansas Temple.[4]
The temples location was announced on April 23, 2020, on an 8.8 acre lot adjacent to a current meetinghouse on McCollum Drive.[5][6][7]
On August 28, 2020, the LDS Church released an exterior rendering of the temple and announced that a groundbreaking ceremony would be held on in November 2020, with David A. Bednar, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, presiding remotely at the event.[8] The groundbreaking took place on November 7, 2020,[9] the same date on which ground was broken for the Red Cliffs Utah Temple.[10]
