The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced a temple site in Queen Creek, Arizona, part of the town's rapid growth in the southeast Phoenix metropolitan area. The announcement follows the standard Church pattern of securing land and preparing for construction in expanding suburban markets.

Queen Creek has grown from a rural community to one of Arizona's fastest-growing towns over the past two decades, with a population exceeding 60,000. The temple joins several other Arizona locations in the Church's expansion across the state's Mormon population centers.
