Billings Montana Temple Pictures
The Billings Temple holds a special place in the hearts of Latter-day Saints throughout Montana and northern Wyoming — the first temple ever built in the state, perched below the dramatic 300-foot Rimrock cliffs that define the Billings skyline. Dedicated in November 1999, it brought temple blessings within reach of members who had previously faced drives of six to eight hours or more. Our collection of Billings Temple pictures, art prints, and paintings captures this beloved temple in a range of styles and sizes.

About the Billings Montana Temple
Announced August 30, 1996 and dedicated November 20–21, 1999 by President Gordon B. Hinckley, the Billings Temple is the 66th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the first — and for many years the only — temple in the state of Montana. The 33,800-square-foot temple sits on 10 acres at 3100 Rim Point Drive, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Rimrock cliffs — the retaining walls and fence foundations are even built from manufactured stone painted to match the prominent 300-foot cliff face behind the property. The grounds include lawns, flower gardens, and more than 250 trees and 4,500 shrubs.
The temple's 33,800 square-foot design is distinctive among Church temples of its era. Its single spire rises from a tiered tower faced with louvered vents that resemble shuttered windows, and a stained-glass bay window anchors the west end of the building. Inside, a clear skylight over the main foyer gives patrons a view directly up to the Angel Moroni statue atop the spire — a thoughtful detail found in very few temples. For the members who once drove to Idaho Falls — often six hours in summer, eight or more in winter — the dedication of the Billings Temple represented decades of faith fulfilled.
Billings Temple Photos, Art & Prints
The Billings Temple's dramatic Rimrock setting gives photographers a striking natural backdrop unlike any other temple in the Church. The warm sandstone tones of the cliffs, the wide Montana sky, and the temple's clean white exterior create a composition that is both peaceful and powerful in any season. Our collection features photography and fine art capturing the temple against the Rimrock in various seasons and light conditions — from the brilliant clarity of a Montana summer morning to the warm light of a peaceful sunset.
Billings Temple prints make a meaningful and inspirational gift for members throughout eastern Montana and northern Wyoming — a beautiful reminder of the faith and sacrifice that brought a temple to the Northern Rockies. Perfect for weddings, mission homecomings, new homes, and other milestone occasions.
