Early Latter-day Saint settlers establish a community in Laie, creating the foundation for what would become a sacred gathering place in the Pacific.
Ground is broken for the temple. Local members contribute labor and resources, with many walking miles to help build what would become their house of worship.
On November 27, 1919, the Laie Hawaii Temple is dedicated, becoming the first temple in the Pacific and the fifth operating temple of the Church worldwide.
The temple undergoes significant renovation and expansion while preserving its original architectural character and historic significance.
The temple continues to serve members throughout the Pacific, welcoming visitors to its grounds and Visitors’ Center to learn, reflect, and find peace.
The Laie Hawaii Temple features a unique architectural style that blends classical influences with early 20th-century design. Its striking appearance has made it one of the most recognizable landmarks on Oahu’s North Shore.
Designed by architects Hyrum Pope and Harold Burton, the temple’s form reflects both Mesoamerican and Art Deco influences—a departure from the Gothic styles of earlier temples.
Temples hold a special place in the faith and practice of Latter-day Saints around the world.
Temples are considered the most sacred spaces on earth—places where heaven and earth feel close together.
Marriages and family bonds are sealed for eternity, reflecting the belief that family relationships continue beyond this life.
A place to step away from the world, seek guidance, and find clarity through prayer and quiet reflection.
One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.
The temple grounds and Visitors’ Center are open to all. Come see this historic landmark and discover why it’s touched so many lives.
