The Ciudad Juárez Mexico Temple is the 71st operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

The Ciudad Juárez Mexico Temple is located in the border city of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and serves about 12,000 church members in northern Mexico and the adjacent U.S. state of Texas.

History

About 1,700 members attended the groundbreaking ceremony on January 9, 1999, and after the temple was completed over 25,000 people attended a week-long open house. LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Ciudad Juárez Temple on February 26–27, 2000, and the dedication ceremonies were attended by approximately 8,100 members from El Paso and Juarez.

The Ciudad Juárez Mexico Temple has a white marble veneer, a total floor area of 10,700 square feet (990 m), two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.

In 2020, the Ciudad Juárez Mexico Temple was closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
