About the Syracuse Utah Temple
President Russell M. Nelson announced a temple for Syracuse, Utah, on April 5, 2020. It was one of eight new locations for future houses of the Lord identified in the concluding session of the April 2020 general conference.
The temple’s site was released on Aug. 28, 2020, and an exterior rendering on Feb. 16, 2021.
The three-story temple of approximately 89,000 square feet sits on a 12-acre site at the intersection of 2500 West and 1025 South in Syracuse.
Elder Kevin R. Duncan, a General Authority Seventy and executive director of the Church’s Temple Department, presided at the Syracuse temple’s June 12, 2021, groundbreaking, speaking and offering a prayer dedicating the site and construction process. His great-grandfather was the first bishop of the Syracuse Ward, and Elder Duncan grew up less than a mile and half north of the temple site.
