In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), a temple is a building dedicated to be a House of the Lord. Church members consider temples to be the most sacred structures on earth.
The LDS Church has 350 temples in various phases, which includes 192 dedicated temples (with 185 operating, and 7 previously-dedicated, but closed for renovation[1]), 52 under construction, and 106 others announced (not yet under construction). There are temples in most U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and Guam.
