Houston Texas Temple — Local services in Jersey Village

I have been touched by our Heavenly Fathers love, especially in the temple. Don't judge what you don't know or don't want to understand. We are all brothers and sisters, learning and evolving on our own paths thru this life. THESE ARE THE ARTICLES OF FAITH THAT I, AS A MORMON, BELIEVE AND HOLD TRUE.

1 We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.

2 We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.

3 We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.

4 We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.

6 We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.

7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.

8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.

9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.

11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.

12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.

13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul--We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these...

If you’re looking for a place where spirituality meets Southern hospitality, the Houston LDS Temple is your go-to spot. Nestled in the heart of Texas, this temple is like the Disneyland of divine destinations—minus the roller coasters, but with plenty of spiritual highs!

First off, the architecture. Imagine if the Taj Mahal and a Texas ranch had a baby. The result? A stunning toothpaste-commercial-white edifice that gleams brighter than a Texan’s smile after a BBQ feast. The grounds are so immaculate, you might wonder if the gardeners have a direct line to the terrestrial kingdom's, Department of First Impressions, for landscaping tips.

Inside, the tranquility is palpable. It’s so peaceful that even the most stressed-out Houstonian would feel like they’ve been wrapped in a celestial hug. The celestial room is the crown jewel, where you can sit and ponder life’s big questions, like “Why don’t they serve Tex-Mex in heaven?”

The staff, or should I say, the heavenly hosts, are incredibly welcoming. They greet you with a warmth that could rival a Texas summer. And if you’re lucky, you might even get a tour guide who can crack a joke or two—because who says you can’t have a little fun while on the path to eternal salvation?

In summary, the Houston LDS Temple is a must-visit. Whether you’re seeking spiritual enlightenment or just a serene spot to escape the hustle and bustle of Houston, this temple offers a slice of heaven on Earth. Just remember to bring your sense of humor and maybe a white cowboy hat for good measure! A strict dress code...

The atmosphere of this place is out of this world. If you've ever driven to a beach... you'll know that before you reach a beach town, you can smell the salt water... Thats what I equate to this. You can feel the peace coming off this building from blocks away. Before you can even see it, you can feel just a calming, comforting peace, and the closer you get, the stronger that feeling gets. So if life ever gets too stressful, if you feel overwhelmed or sad, if you need a quiet place. You can go explore the gardens and walkways around the building. There's a room in the foyer and one in the back for silence and prayer. There is water fountains, bathrooms and even a small store in the back to the left for those who don't have a pass to go beyond the foyer. This is a house of God. You can feel him there. And if you listen, he will...
