There was a public open house from December 3rd to December 11th in 1999, giving many the chance to see its stunning design before its dedication on December 18th and 19th, 1999, by the Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley.
Fast forward to 2019, there was another chance to visit during the second public open house from September 21st to September 28th. The temple was rededicated on October 13, 2019, by Apostle M. Russell Ballard, making it an exciting time for the Temple!
Covering 3.17 acres, the temple features a lovely exterior finished in beige limestone, highlighted by a striking single attached spire topped with a gold leafed Angel Moroni Statue. Inside, you’ll find two instruction rooms, two sealing rooms, and a baptistry, all within its 12,864 square feet.
