About this temple and the Church in Utah
On Oct. 4, 2020, the late Church President Russell M. Nelson announced a house of the Lord for Lindon, Utah. It was one of six temple locations he identified in October 2020 general conference.
Ground was broken for the Lindon temple on April 23, 2022, presided over by Elder Kevin W. Pearson — a General Authority Seventy and then president of the Utah Area.
The Beehive State currently has 32 houses of the Lord operating, under construction, announced or undergoing renovation.
