About 1,700 members attended the groundbreaking ceremony on January 9, 1999, and after the temple was completed over 25,000 people attended a week-long open house. LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Ciudad Juárez Temple on February 26–27, 2000, and the dedication ceremonies were attended by approximately 8,100 members from El Paso and Juarez.

In 2020, the Ciudad Juárez Mexico Temple was closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
