New Temple Rising in Colorado Springs | Colorado Springs News

Construction kicks off on a stunning new LDS temple in Colorado Springs, set to become the fourth in the state and inspired by the majestic Pikes Peak. Spanning 33,000 square feet on an 18.6-acre site, the temple—awaiting since 2012 and officially approved in 2023—overcame community concerns over its spire before city council greenlit the project. Designed with natural granite and artistic glass, it will serve over 22,000 members in the region and symbolize the church’s global growth (now exceeding 17.5 million members). Members like Jordan Steel call it a “heaven on earth,” a peaceful refuge open to all. With construction slated for 3–4 years and weekly updates promised, the temple rises alongside a major road expansion, blending spiritual purpose with urban progress.
