The Orem temple will be dedicated on Sunday, Jan. 21, 2024, in two sessions, at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The dedicatory sessions will be broadcast to all meetinghouses in the Orem Utah Temple district.

A temple for Orem was one of eight locations announced on Oct. 5, 2019, by President Nelson during the Saturday evening women’s session of general conference.

The three-story, 70,000-square-foot edifice with a single attached central spire is on a 15.39-acre tract at 1471 S. Geneva Road in Orem, just west of Interstate 15 and Utah Valley University. The First Presidency announced the temple site on Dec. 11, 2019, and released the exterior rendering on June 24, 2020.

The groundbreaking was Sept. 5, 2020, and Elder Craig C. Christensen, a General Authority Seventy and then president of the Utah Area, presided at the ceremony.

The Orem Utah Temple is one of 14 temples in Utah that are under construction, being renovated or awaiting dedication or rededication.

Three temples — the Brasília Brazil Temple, Bentonville Arkansas Temple and the Moses Lake Washington Temple — were dedicated on Sept. 17. It was the first time in the Church’s history that three temples were dedicated on the same day.
