The Oakland California Temple is considered a literal house of the Lord by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The principal purpose of the temple is to provide ordinances and blessings to members in the Oakland area. Ordinances include endowment, marriage, and baptism.
Only members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with an active temple recommend are allowed to enter the inside of the Oakland California Temple.
