      • The Bismarck North Dakota Temple is the 61st operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
      Missionary work in North Dakota began in 1914 and by 1930, there were 145 members in the state, and by 1997, those numbers had climbed to 5,000.
      Ground was broken for the temple on October 17, 1998, despite inclement weather. The Bismarck North Dakota Temple district covers about 200,000 square miles (5.0E+5 km2) and serves about 9,000 members. The temple sits on 1.6 acres (0.65 ha). The exterior is finished with granite veneer from Quebec. A gold-plated statue of the Angel Moroni tops the single-spire.
      LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the temple in North Dakota, the only state he had not previously visited, on September 19, 1999.
      The Bismarck North Dakota Temple has a total of 10,700 square feet (990 m2), two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.
      In 2020, like all the church's other temples, the Bismarck North Dakota Temple was closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
