Groundbreaking of the Lindon Utah Temple
The groundbreaking of the Lindon Utah Temple was presided over by Elder Kevin W. Pearson, Utah Area president, on April 23, 2022. The chilly weather brought the event inside a nearby chapel, but the symbolic turning of the dirt was still held outdoors.
In his dedicatory prayer on the site, Elder Pearson said, “Bless those who labor here, that they may feel the eternal significance of what they are building and be blessed and protected as they labor in its construction. ... May the construction of Thy holy house here in Lindon continue to bless this community with peace, love and unity.”
The Lindon Utah Temple is scheduled to be dedicated May 3, 2026. A presiding authority has not yet been announced.

Architecture and Design of the Lindon Utah Temple
The Lindon Utah Temple is a three-story building of 83,140 square feet. It’s clad in natural white moncini stone, which is also used on the Syracuse Utah Temple exterior. Linden trees adorn the 12.63-acre site, along with location- and climate-appropriate plants with drought tolerance.
Inside the building, several design motifs are prevalent in the art glass, millwork carvings, interior stonework, railings and decorative paint: the linden flower and linden tree; sheaves of wheat in a harvest basket, and the egg-and-dart design drawing from the linden tree leaf.
Floral elements in the art glass use colors of green, white and pink, with complementary blue, yellow and gold hues reflecting the atmosphere. Broadloom carpet in areas of the temple shows brown and green tones. Stone flooring is also used throughout, with browns and white as the base and green and gold as accents.
