The temple will be located in Madison, in Madison County.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the building site for a planned new temple in the Huntsville area that will be located in Madison.Leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, popularly known as Mormons, have announced the location of its planned temple for the Huntsville area.
Two beliefs of the Latter-day Saints that are key to the temple rituals are baptism of the dead by proxy and the sealing of married couples and their families for eternity. The Latter-day Saints teach that people in the afterlife still have a chance to make a decision for salvation. Those baptized by proxy then go on to the other rituals - receiving eternal rewards through endowments and being sealed to their spouses and children for all eternity. The sealings are done by a staff of about three to six ordinance workers authorized to perform the rituals.
