Not only does the Mormon church have meeting houses, they also have temples. Mormons do not attend their temple for weekly Sunday 
worship.  Instead, Mormon temples are used for special purposes that are outside of the regular weekly worship.  A saying in Mormonism is that 
"the road to exaltation leads through the temple."

If you read the section on "Mormon ceremonies", most if not all of what happens in a Mormon temple does not happen in a Christian church.

There are currently over one hundred Mormon temples throughout the world, with others in construction or being planned. Each building is 
magnificent and majestic. They are tall marble buildings that outshine other buildings around them.  The most famous temple is the one in Salt Lake City, Utah.

These temples are the site of much work within the Mormon church.  Any Mormon desiring eternal life, that is exaltation or an eternal family or 
godhood; must perform certain ordinances at one of the temples.  But before a Mormon can even enter one of the temples, he or she must be 
worthy.  Each Mormon must annually pass an interview process that, if successful, rewards him or her with a 'temple recommend' in the form of a 
small ID card which allows him or her to enter the temple.  In order to pass this interview, Mormons must

- Have been members for at least one year.
- Be willing to follow the prophet and all other church leaders.
- Be current in their tithe.
- Be keeping the Word of Wisdom (rules such as no coffee, tobacco, alcohol, etc.).
- Have been recommended by their bishop.
- Bear their testimony as to the truth of Mormonism, Joseph Smith, etc.
- Be morally clean (sexually pure).
- Have not associated with apostates (people who have left the Mormon church).
- Confess 'serious' sins.
- Be active in the church.
- Not watch inappropriate TV or movies.
- Have honored the Sabbath (no work, no hobbies, no shopping, no hunting, no sports, 'constructive thoughts and acts', etc.).
- Conduct monthly fasting

Only 25-30% of Mormons are temple worthy. Some Mormons do not go through the process to qualify for a temple recommend because they live a 
long way from a Mormon temple. But the main reason why so few are temple worthy is simply that many do not make the grade.

Mormon doctrine bases belief in the need of temples on the Old Testament use of the temple.  It is ironic that while Old Testament believers went to 
the temple to cleanse themselves from sin, that is; they went to the temple to become worthy; Mormonism states Mormons must be worthy before 
they can go to the temple.  The Mormon belief in the necessity of temple buildings also denies the significance of one of the most dramatic events 
in the life and death of our Lord Jesus Christ:

       And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he 
       gave up his spirit.  At that moment the curtain of the 
       temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth 
       shook and the rocks split. (Matthew 27:50-51)

The symbolic meaning of the tearing of the curtain is not understood by Mormons. This tearing of the temple curtain signaled the end of our need 
for a temple building to stand between us and our Father in Heaven.  Jesus made temples obsolete.  He has become our High Priest forever.  He is the only way to eternal life, opened to us when the old temple's curtain tore.  Torn because of Christ's blood, sacrificed once to pay the price of 
redemption forever.  No other payment is needed or could even be made.  When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. Hebrews 9:11-12.  Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body" (Hebrews 10:19-20).

In the final analysis, Christians are God's temple and God lives in us. 

       Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple 
       and that God's Spirit lives in you?  If anyone destroys 
       God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is 
       sacred, and you are that temple. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)

Unfortunately for Mormons, Mormonism teaches that the temple still stands between them and eternal life with Heavenly Father.
