Houston Texas Temple, Mormon temple in Spring, United States

The Houston Texas Temple is a multi-story building in Klein, Texas, constructed with Luna Pearl granite and topped by a single spire with a gold statue of the angel Moroni. It stands on an 8-acre plot with gardens and a central fountain. The interior includes two ordinance rooms, three sealing rooms, and a baptistry.

Announced by Gordon B. Hinckley on September 30, 1997, the temple was built on land whose owner sold it as repayment of a promise to God. Ground was broken June 13, 1998, and Hinckley dedicated the building on August 26, 2000, after a public open house drew about 27,800 visitors. Hurricane Harvey flooded the basement, main floor and annex on August 26, 2017; M. Russell Ballard rededicated it on April 22, 2018.

This temple serves as a central gathering place where members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints come together for religious services and ceremonies. The grounds offer quiet spaces for people to pray or reflect.

The temple stands on an 8-acre plot in Klein, Texas, with gardens and a central fountain around the building. The site is reached by car from the Houston area; the temple itself is not open to casual visitors, and the 2000 public open house ended on August 22, 2000. The 2018 rededication was invitation-only, without an open house.

The temple was modeled on the Washington Chapel at 2810 16th Street NW in Washington, D.C., dedicated in 1933, which also carried an angel Moroni statue on its spire. That chapel was sold in 1977, twenty years before the Houston temple was announced.
