⛪️THE QUEEN CREEK TEMPLE LOCATION ⛪️

The Queen Creek Arizona Temple will be located at the southeast corner of Ryan Road and Euell Drive, between Meridian Road to the west and Ironwood Road to the east, in Queen Creek, Arizona. This 82,000-square-foot temple will be built on a 15.5-acre site, which will include a meetinghouse and an accompanying ancillary building.

The Queen Creek Arizona Temple was announced in 2024. The Yuma Arizona Temple and the Flagstaff Arizona Temple have also been announced. Six temples are currently in operation in the state, including locations in Gilbert, Mesa, Phoenix, Snowflake, The Gila Valley and Tucson. “The announcement of the Queen Creek Arizona Temple location is a historic and deeply meaningful moment for our community, honoring our pioneer heritage and the values of faith, family and service that has long been Queen Creek’s foundation. This sacred place of worship will be a beautiful addition of peace and hope to our town and will bless members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout our region for generations to come.”

📬 ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE MAYOR OF QUEEN CREEK 📬

Dear Residents,

After many very persistent requests and meetings with the USPS about the need for a larger post office here in Queen Creek… we are thrilled to report a breakthrough.

While we didn’t quite get the bigger facility just yet… we were awarded a consultation prize:

✨ Our very own official Queen Creek postage stamp! ✨

That’s right—Queen Creek is finally getting the recognition it deserves… just in a much smaller, lickable format.

Residents are encouraged to use the stamp proudly, especially when mailing letters about needing a bigger post office.

We’d like to thank the USPS for this… “small” but meaningful step forward. We’re confident that if we keep sending enough letters, they may eventually deliver us a building to go with it.

Until then, please enjoy being first-class… literally.

🙏 I truly appreciate your support and would love to earn your vote. It has been an honor to serve our community. Together, we’ve delivered real results that make Queen Creek one of the safest, most prosperous, and best places to live and do business in Arizona and the nation.

Here are some of the top accomplishments during my term as Mayor:

🛡️ Safe Community

🏛️ Effective Government

My goal is to be able to extend that freeze beyond five years but I can only do that by being re-elected.
