The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the groundbreaking date for the Tampa Florida Temple.
Groundbreaking services will be held on Saturday, August 23, 2025. Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will preside at the event.
Today, there are more than 176,000 Latter-day Saints in nearly 280 congregations in Florida, which is part of the Southeast United States.
Latter-day Saints consider each temple a house of the Lord and the most sacred place of worship on earth. Temples differ from the Church’s meetinghouses (chapels). All are welcome to attend Sunday worship services and other weekday activities at local meetinghouses. The primary purpose of temples is for faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ to participate in sacred ceremonies, such as marriages, which unite families forever, and proxy baptisms on behalf of deceased ancestors who did not have the opportunity to be baptized while living.

Against all odds, Jesus of Nazareth, the living Son of the living God, restored physical life where death had held sway and brought joyful, spiritual redemption out of sin, hellish darkness, and despair.
One of the great consolations of this Easter season is that because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so.
This Easter week and always, may we stand by Jesus Christ “at all times and in all things, and in all places that [we] may be in, even until death,” (Mosiah 18:9) for surely that is how He stood by us when it was unto death and when He had to stand entirely and utterly alone. #BecauseofHim

Moving to a skills-based assessment won’t instantly squeeze all of the bias out of labor markets, but it would dramatically level the playing field. More from @SteveLohr on how skills-based #hiring will positively impact the #futureofwork in @nytimes: nyti.ms/3rq9kkq
