The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has revealed plans for a new temple in Spanish Fork, Utah. The Spanish Fork Utah Temple will be constructed on an 8.7-acre site at the intersection of 100 South and 2550 East. This announcement marks an important development for the church, which serves a community of nearly 2.2 million Latter-day Saints across the state.
The temple was first introduced during the church’s April 2025 general conference, alongside announcements for 14 additional temples. The construction of this temple is expected to enhance the spiritual resources available to church members in the region. Russell M. Nelson, the late President of the Church, emphasized the importance of temple worship, stating, “Regular worship in the house of the Lord increases our capacity for both virtue and charity.”
While specific design details are yet to be unveiled, preliminary plans indicate that the temple will feature a multistory structure encompassing approximately 80,000 square feet. Accompanying the temple will be an ancillary building, further supporting the church’s mission in the area.
As of now, Utah hosts 32 Latter-day Saint temples that are operational, under construction, or in planning stages. The establishment of the Spanish Fork Utah Temple will contribute significantly to the spiritual and community life of its members, providing a dedicated space for worship and reflection.
Further updates regarding the temple’s design and construction timeline are anticipated as the project progresses. For more information, interested individuals can visit ChurchofJesusChrist.org, where official announcements and details will be posted.
