Description

Uganda is located in east-central Africa and is home to more than 22,000 Latter-day Saints in about 40 congregations. Kampala, the capital and largest city, is located on the East African Plateau.

History

Expatriate Latter-day Saints lived in and held meetings in Uganda in the 1960s. The first official congregation was established in the early 1990s.

Announcement

Plans to construct the Kampala Uganda Temple were announced by President Russell M. Nelson on 06 October 2024, at the 192nd Semi-Annual General Conference.

“Why are we building temples at such an unprecedented pace?” asked the prophet, who has announced 185 temples — more than half of all temples in the Church — since 2018. “Why? Because the Lord has instructed us to do so. The blessings of the temple help to gather Israel on both sides of the veil. These blessings also help to prepare a people who will help prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord!”[1]“The Prophet Announces 17 New Temples at the October 2024 General Conference.” newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org, 6 Oct. 2024, newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/october-2024-general-conference-new-temples.

The Kampala Uganda Temple will be the first temple in Uganda.
