Indianapolis Indiana Temple
History
The intention to build the temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on October 2, 2010, during the church's semi-annual general conference. The temple was announced concurrently with the Hartford Connecticut, Tijuana Mexico, Urdaneta Philippines and Lisbon Portugal temples.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held September 29, 2012, with Donald L. Hallstrom presiding.
A public open house was held from July 17 to August 8, 2015, excluding Sundays. The temple was dedicated by Henry B. Eyring on August 23, 2015. Church officials said it will serve about 30,000 members in Indiana and eastern Illinois.
In 2020, the Indianapolis Indiana Temple was closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
