About the Fort Worth Texas Temple
The newly built Fort Worth Texas Temple is a single-story building of about 30,000 square feet.
It is situated on a 9.37-acre site located in Burleson, Texas, just south of Fort Worth.
Plans to build the Fort Worth temple were first announced on Oct. 3, 2021, during the faith’s semiannual general conference. Construction of the temple then began with groundbreaking services held in October 2023.
“This temple will enable those to attend a temple nearby who have made the long trip to Dallas for many years,” said local church member Vicki Svendsen at the temple’s groundbreaking services.

The Fort Worth Texas Temple reflects the region’s Spanish Colonial architecture and artistry, per a press release published on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
“Patterns inspired by Spanish lace and an interlocking of quatrefoils appear throughout the temple,” the release states. “Decorative arches, custom metalwork and art glass details reflect the local heritage and agriculture.”
