The Rexburg Stake Tabernacle, also known as the Fremont Stake Tabernacle is a building located in Rexburg, Idaho that formerly served as tabernacle for large gatherings of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The tabernacle was designed by architect Otto Erlandsen and completed in 1911 at a cost of $31,000. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. In 1980, the building was sold to the city of Rexburg and now serves as a civic center and is home of the Rexburg Children's Choir. In 2020, the Rexburg Tabernacle was visible to a nationwide audience when NBC Nightly News and Inside Edition highlighted the children's choir's ability to persist during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Brigham Young University–Idaho (BYU–Idaho or BYU–I) is a private college in Rexburg, Idaho. Founded 136 years ago in 1888, the college is owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Previously known as Ricks College, it transitioned from a junior college to a baccalaureate institution in 2001. BYU–Idaho offers programs in the sciences, engineering, agriculture, management, and performing arts. The university is broadly organized into 33 departments within six colleges and its parent organization, the Church Educational System (CES), sponsors sister schools in Utah and Hawaii. The college's focus is on undergraduate education, hosting 26 certificate, 20 associate, and over 87 bachelor's degree programs. It operates on a three-semester system also known as "tracks." Students attending BYU–Idaho agree to follow an honor code that mandates behavior in line with LDS teachings, such as academic honesty, adherence to dress and grooming standards (which includes rules against wearing shorts and men having beards), abstinence from extramarital sex and homosexual behavior, and no consumption of illegal drugs, coffee, tea, alcohol, or tobacco. Approximately 99% of the college's students are members of the LDS Church and a significant percentage of the student body take an 18- (women) or 24-month (men) hiatus from their studies to serve as missionaries. Tuition rates are generally lower than those at similar universities, due largely to funding provided by the church from tithing donations.
