The Kona Hawaii Temple is the 70th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The intent to build the temple was announced on May 7, 1998, by the church's First Presidency. It is located in Kailua-Kona on the island of Hawaii and is the second temple built in Hawaii, along with the Laie Hawaii Temple, and is the sixth in the Pacific Islands.
The temple has a single attached spire. This temple was designed by church architect Emil B. Fetzer, using a modern architectural style. A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on March 13, 1999, conducted by John B. Dickson of the Seventy.
