Under the direction of the Lord and the leadership of His prophets and apostles, we will continue to prepare missionaries, make and keep sacred covenants, establish Christ’s Church across the world, and receive the blessings that come as we keep the commandments of God. We are united. We are God’s children. We know Him and we love Him. -Elder Brent H.

A couple of days ago I watched from my back porch as a storm was rolling across the valley darkening everything around, except for the Helena Temple. Happy Easter. #helenatemple #ldstemple #easter
A couple of squinty-eyed old folks who ran into each other at the Helena Temple this morning! It’s always good to feel like I’ve gone “home” for a visit when I get together with family. Love you, Rick! Saw some other dear friends there, too. Great morning in a beautiful place doing important work.

Too often our problems or challenges are self-inflicted, the result of poor choices. When we are diligently pursuing the covenant path, we quite naturally avoid many unforced errors. We sidestep the various forms of addiction. We do not fall into the ditch of dishonest conduct. We cross over the abyss of immorality and infidelity. We bypass the people and things that, even if popular, would jeopardize our physical and spiritual well-being. We avoid the choices that harm or disadvantage others and instead acquire the habits of self-discipline and service. - Elder D.

Temple #83 Helena, Montana temple July 22, 2023 The Helena Montana temple is the the 178th operating temple of the Church. The temple was dedicated June 18, 2023 by Gary E. Stevenson. The Helena is the first modular temple built. The temple was built off site by a company named BLOX. The company arranged the 10,000-square-foot, 96-foot-high temple into 25 separate modules and shipped them to Helena. The temple was one of the fastest temples built after it was announced. It was announced April 4, 2021, groundbreaking Jene 26, 2021, and dedicated June 18, 2023. We had a fun day trip to the Helena Montana with our friends. They have been with us on several trips and are good sports about the crazy schedule that comes with temple trips. #missionarywork #helenatemple #ldstemples #templegoals #kellyjentemplegoals #christian #temple #familiesareforever #ilovetoseethetemple #ldslife #houseofthelord #sharegoodness #blessings #templegram #ldstempledaily #hasteningthework #familyhistory #templework. #ldschurch #latterdaysaint #ldsliving #mormontemples #templelove #thechurchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #ldsconf #lighttheworld #becauseofhim# #bethegood
"What a great blessing it is now for this great area of Montana to have access to a temple like this now," said Elder Gary E. Stevenson at the dedication of the Helena Montana Temple on Sunday, June 18, 2023. He continued, "It is part of the blessings that are coming to us as our dear Prophet is so focused on gathering Israel on both sides of the veil. This temple will bless the lives of many people." The temple is the 178th dedicated house of the Lord in operation worldwide.

With just five weeks remaining before guests arrive at the open house of the Helena Montana Temple, it was all hands on deck on Saturday to plant flowers and lay mulch in the flowerbeds that adorn the grounds. Tents had been previously used to protect the establishing shrubs and grasses that had been planted during colder temperatures. The public is invited to tour the temple from Thursday, May 18 through Saturday, June 3.

Planters and flowerbeds around the Helena Montana Temple have been temporarily tented to create a greenhouse environment for the plants and flowers that need to be established before the open house begins in two-and-a-half months. Propane tanks that are fenced off in the parking lot are providing fuel for the heaters. It the second temple to be constructed in Montana. A third has been announced for Missoula.

The stone-clad facade of the Helena Montana Temple is now fully visible with the removal of the tarps and scaffolds that were used to trap heat while work progressed near the entrance. The handsome portico features a beautifully arched opening, flanked by sconces, that leads to the covered porch. Above the entrance doors is an ornate lunette that is softly illuminated by hanging light fixtures. Paver stones have been laid for the porch and entrance plaza, which features a circular flower bed at the center.

Even in freezing temperatures, the crews at the Helena Montana Temple find ways to keep construction moving forward. Plastic sheeting is draped over scaffolding to trap warm air where the work is progressing. Installers recently secured brass hand rails along the walkways, providing a stabilizing support for patrons walking to the entrance. (Photo: Helena Montana Stake) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
Cladding of the Helena Montana Temple is down to the final pieces. A rectangular opening at the southwest corner is the location for the cornerstone. A time capsule will be placed in the cavity before the cornerstone is secured. It will be inscribed with the year that the temple is dedicated. Lamp posts have been installed in the parking areas and over walkways. Exterior flood lights have been mounted to poles that surround the temple. (Photo: Helena Montana Stake) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
A black ornamental fence is being installed between concrete fence posts around the grounds of the Helena Montana Temple. At the southwest corner, a concrete base for the monument sign stands ready for inscribed panels. Cladding continues on the steeple pedestal and the front entrance to the building. Temperatures have dropped significantly in Helena, which will slow down the landscaping efforts over the winter. (Photo: Helena Montana Stake) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
Cladding of the Helena Montana Temple steeple has been completed, and the cupola and finial assembly has been installed. Each wall of the steeple features an arched stained-glass window. Walkways are being poured around the temple in a full circle, and trees are being planted along Bobcat Drive. The parking lots have been paved and striped. The accompanying photograph shows the steeples of the temple (left) and meetinghouse (right) that stand side by side on the property.

Eight levels of scaffolding surround the steeple frame of the Helena Montana Temple, giving stone installers a multi-level platform for cladding the walls in beautiful granite imported from Portugal. Stained glass has been inserted, the front entrance doors hung, and framing for the arched portico installed. Landscaping is making progress around the meetinghouse and maintenance building.

Construction observers have a much better view of the beautiful stone cladding on the exterior of the Helena Montana Temple with sections of the scaffolding now removed. Near the top of the wall, an ornamental frieze features a geometric pattern that coordinates with the patterns in the stained glass and the crossheads over the windows. Soft landscaping has begun on the grounds around the temple and the meetinghouse. (Photo: Helena Montana Stake) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
Ornamental headers are being installed over the stained-glass windows of the Helena Montana Temple. The patterned panels coordinate splendidly with the geometric design in the glass. Stone cladding of the main exterior walls is making progress while the steeple frame has yet to be sheathed or clad. Hardscaping of the grounds is moving forward with the installation of concrete curbing and walkways. (Photo: Helena Montana Stake) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
A view of the southwest corner of the Helena Montana Temple shows the progress that has been made on cladding the exterior walls in stone. Pallets of stone pieces sit in the staging areas of the construction site ready for installation. The city of Helena began as a small mining town known as "Last Chance Gulch," but when official naming was on the table, miners from Minnesota prevailed in having it named after Saint Helena. Other suggestions included Pumpkinville and Squashtown. (Photo: Helena Montana Stake) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
Several stained-glass windows have been installed in the Helena Montana Temple while stone cladding on the west end continues. The bold design of the glass, which may be influenced by Native American textiles, features strong geometric shapes and beautiful shades of blue, green, gold, and brown. Brickwork on the meetinghouse has been completed, and preparations are being made to begin landscaping the grounds. (Photo: Helena Montana Stake) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
Stone cladding of the Helena Montana Temple has begun along the base of the west end while brickwork on the stake center is nearing completion. Concrete roof tiling on the stake center is also making progress, and windows have been installed. Windows on the south side will have a beautiful view of the temple across the way. Ground was broken on the project just 10 months ago, but fabrication of the interior modules started months earlier. (Photo: Helena Montana Stake) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
Brick layers are carrying out beautiful work on the exterior of the new stake center being constructed next to the Helena Montana Temple. All six wards in the city are currently meeting in the 6th Avenue building until the stake center is complete. Framing and sheathing continues on the exterior of the temple. The groundbreaking event was held just nine and a half months ago. (Photo: Helena Montana Stake) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
Following the installation of the steeple frame on top of the Helena Montana Temple, framing for the exterior walls has made significant progress. The steel studs run along the exterior surface of the modules, adding to the height of the building and creating recessed areas around the window groups. Construction observers are looking forward to the installation of ornamented wall panels that will decorate the exterior. (Photo: Helena Montana Stake) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
Over the course of just a few days, much of the framing for the upper walls and steeple of the Helena Montana Temple has been set in place. A gold pyramidal cupola with a delicate finial will eventually sit atop the steeple walls. The orange exterior of the prefabricated modules are being covered in a silver insulating layer. About half of the wood framing for the ancillary building has been completed. (Photo: Helena Montana Stake) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
Activity has picked up on the exterior of the Helena Montana Temple where an additional layer of insulation is being attached to the surface of the modules, and construction of a steel frame for the upper structure has begun. Work also continues on a meetinghouse and maintenance building that will share the temple property. Construction is expected to move swiftly over the next few months.

The Helena Montana Temple was featured in a recent news segment presented by KPAX-TV. It was noted that the temple is the first to be built through modular construction methods. A handful of members are interviewed who expressed their excitement and even disbelief at the temple announcement. A House of the Lord for Western Montana has been on the minds of Latter-day Saints since the 1960s when a Church leader visited Helena and mentioned the possibility of a temple.

Foundation walls were poured this week for a maintenance building that will stand on the grounds of the Helena Montana Temple, providing a on-site space for storage and grounds equipment. The temple modules have been stitched together, and steel for the steeple is being assembled on site. Windows have been installed in the new meetinghouse including the south entrance, which will offer a beautifully framed view of the temple. #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
It was a lovely morning at the Helena Montana Temple site this week as the first rays of sun illuminated the eastern and southern faces of the modular edifice that is being assembled. Over the past two weeks, many modules have been installed by crane and bolted together on the concrete foundation including the mechanical level that will support the central steeple. Once the modules have been fastened in place, utilities will be connected, exterior cladding will move forward, and final work will commence on the mostly completed interior. (Photo: Helena Montana Stake) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
The first few modules of the Helena Montana Temple were fastened to the foundation this week. Work began with installation of the baptistry floor and font, followed by a north-wing module. Modules are now being installed on the west end of the west-facing temple. Modular building dramatically accelerates construction time while maintaining the high standards and quality of a traditional build.

A caravan of trucks carrying huge rectangular boxes were seen traveling the highway outside Helena last week. These are the prefabricated modules that will be used to construct the Helena Montana Temple. The deliveries were taken to a staging site about eight miles from the temple property. From there, the modules will be transported in a predetermined order to the newly paved staging pad at the temple site. (Photo: Lee Holmes) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
Most of the wood frame has been erected for the meetinghouse that will share the site of the Helena Montana Temple. The concrete temple foundation has been waterproofed, backfilled, and prepared for the installation of prefabricated modules that are under construction at a remote facility. Once the modules arrive, they will be installed and assembled on site, forming a beautiful House of the Lord. (Photo: Helena Montana Stake) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
The concrete foundation for the Helena Montana Temple has been poured and cured, ready for the superstructure to begin. "And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall (Helaman 5:12)." (Photo: Lee Holmes) #helenatemple #helenamontanatemple https://churchofjesuschristtemples.org/helena-montana-temple/photographs/
The foundation has been installed for the new meetinghouse that will stand next to the Helena Montana Temple. The temple and meetinghouse are being constructed on the site of the former stake center. Helena is the capital of Montana and a growing city of almost 35,000 people with numerous architectural gems including the Montana State Capitol, the Cathedral of St. Helena, the Helena Civic Center, and numerous Victorian mansions in the historic district.

Heavy machinery is clearing the site for the Helena Montana Temple. A water hose is used to moisten the soil and reduce dust levels around the construction site. The property was formerly occupied by a stake center and a grass field. The stake center was razed in early June ahead of the groundbreaking. Asphalt and vegetation are being removed before excavation gets underway for the foundations of the temple and new stake center.

Elder Vern P. Stanfill of the Seventy presided at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Helena Montana Temple held on Saturday, June 26, 2021. As the groundbreaking approached, he "pondered on the many who have lived in the shadow of these mountains who…sacrificed, served, and hoped for this day." He concluded, "Theirs is a legacy of faith and discipleship of the Savior." Elder Stanfill was accompanied by Helena Montana Stake president Bret Romney and invited guests. The 10,000-square-foot temple was announced 12 weeks ago in General Conference and is expected to be erected at an accelerated pace. It will stand next to a new stake center on a 4.8-acre site at 1260 Otter Road. Elder Stanfill declared, "As a house of the Lord, a holy temple, rises out of the ground in this place, we pray that all who look upon it will see it as a great blessing and come to learn of its significance."

The Helena Montana Temple will be constructed on the site of the current stake center for the Helena Montana Stake at 1260 Otter Road. The single-level, 10,000-square-foot temple will share the 4.8-acre site with a new stake center. The building features a covered entrance with an arched opening, a single central spire, and gold accents. Plans for the temple were announced just 16 days ago in the closing session of General Conference. Project leaders will soon be filing documents with the local government. Construction is expected to begin soon, but no groundbreaking date has been set.

The blessings of the temple are priceless in time and throughout eternity! We are grateful that another temple will be built Montana — in Helena!
