Located on the southeast corner of greenfield road and pecos road in gilbert, the construction site of the future lds temple is on a strong, steady pace to the expected finished date in 2013.

The mesa temple, the first in arizona, opened in 1927. Another temple planned for north phoenix would be the state's fifth as referred to from the main webpage of the lds mormon church.
The gilbert temple was the fourth temple built in arizona and the 142nd temple of the lds church. It was formally dedicated on march 2, 2014 by thomas s. Monson (read by henry b. Eyring).
