Rendering Released for Lehi Utah Temple

The house of the Lord will be the 31st in the state

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released an exterior rendering for the Lehi Utah Temple.

As previously announced, the Lehi Utah Temple will be built on a 22.48-acre site northwest of the intersection of 3950 North and Center Street in Lehi. Plans call for a multi-story temple of approximately 85,000 square feet and a new meetinghouse. This will be the city’s first temple.

Utah, the Church’s world headquarters, is home to nearly 2.2 million Latter-day Saints, approximately two-thirds of the state’s population of 3.5 million people. The temple in the city of Lehi will be the 31st temple in Utah either in operation, under renovation, under construction or announced.  

Temples currently in operation in the state are found in American Fork (Mount Timpanogos), Bountiful, Brigham City, Cedar City, Draper, Layton, Logan, Manti, Monticello, Ogden, Orem, Payson, Provo (Provo City Center), Saratoga Springs, South Jordan (Jordan River and Oquirrh Mountain), St. George (Red Cliffs and St. George), Taylorsville, Tooele (Deseret Peak) and Vernal. New temples under construction in Utah are in Ephraim, Heber Valley, Lindon, Smithfield and Syracuse. The Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple and Salt Lake Temple are currently under renovation. Temples in Price and West Jordan were announced in 2024.

The ceremonies conducted inside each temple teach about the purpose of life and unite families, both past and present. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints promise to keep God’s commandments, support His work, live the higher law that Christ taught while on earth, remain chaste and dedicate their lives to building the Church of Christ.
