Madison chosen for site of Alabama’s newest LDS temple
The 30-thousand square foot structure will be constructed at the corner of Gillespie and Browns Ferry roads.
MADISON, Ala. — The first northern Alabama temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be built on a 21-acre parcel near the intersection of Gillespie and Browns Ferry roads in Madison.
The Church announced the location on Tuesday, about three months after it said it would target the Huntsville area for the second LDS temple in Alabama.
The first temple in the state was dedicated in Birmingham in 2000.
The new temple will be a single-story structure encompassing about 30,000 square feet of space.
The Church claims about 40,000 members and 75 congregations statewide. It says its temples provide space for ceremonies that “teach about the purpose of life and unite families, both past and present.”
I am excited to share that Madison, Alabama has been selected as the location for the newest temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the state. This beautiful city, known for its thriving community and strong sense of unity, will soon be home to a sacred place of worship for members of the LDS faith.
The announcement of Madison as the site for the new temple has brought joy and excitement to the local LDS community, as well as to all those who value religious diversity and freedom. The temple will be a place where members can gather to worship, perform sacred ordinances, and find peace and solace in their spiritual journey.
As construction begins on the temple, we look forward to seeing this beautiful building become a beacon of light and hope in Madison and the surrounding areas. We are grateful for the opportunity to have a temple in our own backyard, and we know that it will be a blessing to all who are able to visit and worship within its walls.
We are grateful for the support and cooperation of the Madison community as we work towards bringing this temple to fruition. We are confident that it will be a place of peace, love, and unity for all who enter its doors. We look forward to the day when we can gather together in this sacred space to worship and find strength in our faith.
Stay tuned for updates on the progress of the temple construction and information on its dedication ceremony. We are excited for this new chapter in the history of the LDS Church in Alabama, and we are grateful for the opportunity to have a temple in Madison.
