On April 7, 2024, President Russell M. Nelson announced the plans for the Lehi Utah Temple during the 194th Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This new temple will be constructed on a 22.48-acre site located at the intersection of 3950 North and Center Street in Lehi, Utah.

Key features of the Lehi Utah Temple include a single attached central spire, distinguishing it from other temples that often include a gold-leafed statue of the angel Moroni. The total square footage of the temple will be 85,000 square feet, and it will be built at an elevation of 4,085 feet above sea level.

As of now, there is no scheduled date for the ground-breaking ceremony, but the architectural rendering of the temple was released to the public on February 24, 2025. This release has already generated excitement within the community and among church members.

Lehi is part of Utah’s expanding technology sector known as Silicon Slopes, which is fostering economic growth and development in the area. The Lehi Utah Temple will be the 30th temple announced in the state, which is notable considering that Utah is home to nearly 2.2 million members of the Latter-day Saints, representing approximately two-thirds of the state’s population. These members are organized into over 5,400 congregations across the state.

The city of Lehi has a rich history, first settled by pioneers in 1850. The construction of the Lehi Utah Temple is anticipated to enhance the spiritual and cultural landscape of the community, further contributing to the region’s overall growth and vitality.
