The Kinshasa Democratic Republic of the Congo Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) under construction in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The intent to construct the temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on 1 October 2011. The temple was announced concurrently with the Barranquilla Colombia, Durban South Africa, Star Valley Wyoming, and Provo City Center temples. When announced, this increased the total number of temples worldwide to 166.
A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, took place on 12 February 2016, with Neil L. Andersen presiding.[5] A public open house is scheduled for March 2019.[6][7] The lead negotiator for the temple, both with the government and with local subcontrators, has been Norman Kamosi, a former Air Congo executive and member of the Congolese Parliament. Kamosi joined the LDS Church in Washington DC, after having fled there when Kabile came to power.[8]
The temple is scheduled to be dedicated on April 14, 2019 and will be the fourth operating temple in Africa.[4]
The temple is a single-story building with a concrete and fill structure and a steel superstructure. Like most other temples, the building is topped with a statue of the Angel Moroni. The temple is built on a 10-acre site that it shares with other existing buildings owned by the LDS Church.[9]
