Bentonville Arkansas Temple

The Bentonville Arkansas Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) located in Bentonville, Arkansas. The Bentonville Arkansas Temple is the LDS Church's first temple in the state of Arkansas, and the 181st dedicated temple in operation worldwide.

History
On October 5, 2019, during the church's general conference, church president Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Bentonville Arkansas Temple.

The temple's location was announced on April 23, 2020, on an 8.8 acre lot adjacent to a current meetinghouse on McCollum Drive.

On August 28, 2020, the LDS Church released an exterior rendering of the temple and announced that a groundbreaking ceremony would be held on in November 2020, with David A. Bednar, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, presiding remotely at the event. The groundbreaking took place on November 7, 2020, the same date on which ground was broken for the Red Cliffs Utah Temple. The temple was dedicated by Bednar on September 17, 2023.
