It serves 13 stakes in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri.

The Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple was announced on 14 March 1999, to be built on land purchased years earlier for the building of a meetinghouse, along with an additional parcel of land donated by the sellers. The additional land was originally used as a baseball field by local church members.

The temple groundbreaking took place on July 3, 1999 in Yukon, Oklahoma. The temple open house began on July 15, 2000 with over 40,000 visitors touring the temple in a seven-day period. James E. Faust, second counselor in the First Presidency, dedicated the Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple on July 30, 2000.

The temple has a total floor area of 10,769 square feet (1,000.5 m²), two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.

On April 10, 2017 the LDS Church announced that the temple will close in October 2017 for renovations that are anticipated to be completed in 2019.
