The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints builds temples all around the world where faithful members go to learn more of Jesus Christ and his plan, receive ordinances for themselves, and perform vicarious work for their deceased ancestors. These temples are beautifully constructed both inside and out. They are designed to direct our thoughts heavenward and seal families together for eternity. The redemptive work that is performed here is not to be found anywhere else on the earth. All people are invited to experience for themselves the grandeur and blessings of temple work by qualifying themselves to enter the House of the Lord. In the meantime, I'll be taking you through the A to Z of our temples.
PROVO CITY CENTRE TEMPLE

| The Provo City Centre Temple |
The Provo City Centre Temple has a real story of saving that which was lost, an essential element of Jesus Christ's teachings. While Jesus referred to going in search of the lost soul, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints adopted the same approach to a special building.
The Provo City Centre Temple used to be the Provo Tabernacle where meetings and various cultural events were held. Unfortunately, on 17th December, 2010, a fire destroyed the entire interior of the building with just the outer walls remaining like a shell.

| The Church decided to transform the Provo Tabernacle into a temple. Using great engineering skills, the structure unaffected by the fire was lifted onto stilts where extensive renovation began |
Fully renovated, the Provo City Centre Temple now stands as a dedicated House of the Lord and the second in the city of Provo.

Good. Temples help people to meet and observe the spiritual orientation and behavior of large number of people. Spiritual thinking and behavior increases good and happiness in the society.
