The original Samoa temple was dedicated in 1983 and destroyed by fire while the temple was closed for renovations in 2003. This new temple of a similar design was built on the same site although it is substantially larger.[1] The LDS Church continues to list this as the 22nd operating temple, in accordance to its original dedication date.[2]

The Apia Samoa Temple (formerly the Samoan Temple) is the 24th constructed and 22nd operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). It was the first built in Samoa and the third to be built in Polynesia. After it was destroyed by fire, a new temple was built and dedicated on the same grounds.
