The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the groundbreakings for the Farmington New Mexico Temple and the Lindon Utah Temple, both announced by President Russell M. Nelson in April 2021 and October 2020, respectively.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the Farmington New Mexico Temple will be held Saturday, April 30. Elder Anthony D. Perkins of the Quorum of the Seventy will preside at the event.
The Farmington New Mexico Temple will be built on a 6.62-acre site located at the intersection of College Boulevard and Windsor Drive.
