Alma and Amulek go to Sidom and establish a church there. The people humbled themselves before God and began to meet together in places called "sanctuaries" to worship God before an altar.
Answer:
Yes. There was an altar.
No, it was not a temple. It was most likely something similar to a synagogue. These people were likely practicing some kind of version of the Law of Moses, though it seems that Nephi made an explicit decision wayyyy earlier to not teach his children the "traditions of the Jews." However, there are other clues that hint that they were still obeying many aspects of the Law of Moses, most likely even including ritual animal sacrifice, since Christ had not been resurrected yet.
