SALT LAKE CITY — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced plans to build 15 new temples across the world, including one more in the state of Utah.
Church President Russell M. Nelson announced the following locations for future temples during Sunday afternoon's General Conference:
- Spanish Fork, Utah
- Caldwell, Idaho
- Flagstaff, Arizona
- Rapid City, South Dakota
- Greenville, South Carolina
- Norfolk, Virginia
- Reynosa, Mexico
- Chorrillos, Peru
- Rivera, Uruguay
- Campo Grande, Brazil
- Porto, Portugal
- Uyo, Nigeria
- San Jose del Monte, Philippines
- Nouméa, New Caledonia
- Liverpool, Australia
These 15 new locations will bring the total number of LDS temples to 382. The Spanish Fork temple will be the 31st in the state of Utah.
“I’m elated for our residents and surrounding communities,” Spanish Fork Mayor Mike Mendenhall
said in a press release following the announcement. “For decades, we’ve planned intentionally to make space available for housing, industry, and commerce within our city. To now add a place of worship this significant—one that will be recognized around the world but most meaningful to those who live nearby—makes me smile. We work hard to protect and grow the quality of life in Spanish Fork, and I’m confident this temple will add to it.”
At the last General Conference, in October 2024, Nelson announced plans for 17 new temples, including one in Price.
