About this place
building in Ghana
The Accra Ghana Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Accra, Ghana. The intent to build the temple was announced on February 16, 1998, by church president Gordon B. Hinckley. It is the first in Ghana. A single-story structure of more than 17,500 square feet, it was designed to reflect local culture and environment, using native materials such as Makore wood and Namibia Pearl granite. A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on November 16, 2001, with Russell M. Nelson, then a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, presiding. After construction was completed, a public open house that was held, with more than 17,000 visitors attending. The temple was dedicated by Hinckley on January 11, 2004. The church's surrounding complex includes a missionary training center (MTC) and a stake center.
