Facts and practical information

The Kansas City Missouri Temple is the 137th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is the first to be built in the Greater Kansas City area. Previous attempts at building a temple in the area failed in Independence in 1833 and Far West in 1838, after church founder Joseph Smith had selected and dedicated locations for their construction. A temple was completed in Independence in 1994 by the Community of Christ, which is not affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. ()
