0 New Temples Announced at 2025 October General Conference

During the final session of the 2025 October General Conference, President Dallin H. Oaks announced that no new temples would be announced at this General Conference, referring to the 2025 October General Conference. He stated that, with the approval of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the church will slow down new temple announcements and shift its focus to completing the temples that have already been announced.

This marks a significant pause in the rapid temple expansion that has been a hallmark of recent years under President Russell M. Nelson, who oversaw a record number of temple announcements. Church leaders emphasized that the decision allows resources and attention to be devoted to ongoing temple projects, ensuring they are completed efficiently and with care.

Members of the church expressed mixed reactions online, with some noting excitement to see current temples completed and others expressing surprise at the sudden pause in new announcements.
