Bismarck North Dakota Temple

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bismarck North Dakota Temple is the 61st operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Ground was broken for the Bismark Temple on October 17, 1998, despite inclement weather. The Bismarck North Dakota temple district covers about 200,000 square miles and serves about 9,000 members. The temple sits on 1.6 acres. The exterior is finished with granite veneer from Québec. A gold-plated statue of the angel Moroni, blowing his trumpet, tops the single-spire.

Mormon Church President Gordon B. Hinckley attended the dedication of the temple in North Dakota, the only state he had not visited. President Hinckley dedicated the temple on 19 September 1999.

The Bismarck North Dakota Temple has a total of 10,700 square feet, two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.
