Gilbert Temple

The Gilbert Arizona Temple at 3301 South Greenfield Road at the corner of East Pecos Road in Gilbert, Arizona, is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The design of the temple was overseen by Gregory B. Lambright of Architekton. Groundbreaking took place in 2010 and the temple was dedicated in 2014.

The announcement of the temple on April 26, 2008 came concurrently with the Gila Valley Arizona Temple, which were the first new temples announced after Thomas S. Monson assumed responsibilities as LDS Church president. It is the 142nd temple of the LDS Church, and the fourth temple built in the state of Arizona.

The approach to the temple from the south
The temple is near the intersection of Pecos and Greenfield roads in a rapidly growing part of the southeast Phoenix metropolitan area. The temple was built in response to the high concentration of church members in the area and will help ease the load on the nearby Mesa Arizona Temple.

The Gilbert town council gave unanimous approval to requested zoning changes in a meeting on September 29, 2009. Key among the requests was an allowance to build to a height of 85 feet, higher than the existing restriction at 45 feet. The temple's planned 180-foot-tall (55 m) steeple did not require an exemption, as the town does not restrict the height of steeples. While not providing a specific timeframe for construction, an anticipated completion within three years was repeated at the meeting.
