On April 7, 2024, an exciting announcement echoed through the halls of the 194th Annual General Conference: President Russell M. Nelson revealed plans for the Lehi Utah Temple! This remarkable temple will be situated on a stunning 22.48-acre site at the lively intersection of 3950 North and Center Street in Lehi, Utah. With its elegant design featuring a single attached central spire, the temple will stand as a beacon of faith—though it will notably forego the traditional gold-leafed statue of the angel Moroni.
Spanning an impressive 85,000 square feet, the Lehi Utah Temple will rise majestically at an elevation of 4,085 feet, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding area. As of now, the specific ground-breaking date hasn’t been set, but anticipation is building within the community. A beautiful rendering of the temple was unveiled to the public on February 24, 2025, giving everyone a glimpse of what to expect.
Lehi, nestled in Utah’s vibrant technology hub known as Silicon Slopes, is buzzing with energy and innovation. This new temple will be the 30th announced for Utah, a state that boasts nearly 2.2 million Latter-day Saints, representing about two-thirds of the population, all organized into over 5,400 congregations. Let’s not forget that this fascinating city was first settled by pioneers back in 1850. The Lehi Utah Temple is not just a place of worship; it’s a symbol of growth, community, and a bright future ahead!
