Lindon Utah Temple

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the dates for the open house and dedication of the Lindon Utah Temple.

A media day will be held on Monday, March 9, 2026. Invited guests will tour the temple on Tuesday, March 10 and Wednesday, March 11, 2026. A public open house will be held beginning Thursday, March 12 through Saturday, April 11, 2026—excluding Saturday, April 4, and Sundays.

The temple will be dedicated on Sunday, May 3, 2026. The dedicatory session will be broadcast to all units in the Lindon Utah Temple district.

President Russell M. Nelson first announced the Lindon Utah Temple in October 2020.

“As we build and maintain these temples, we pray that each of you will build and maintain yourself so you can be worthy to enter the holy temple,” he said then.

Utah, the Church’s world headquarters, is home to nearly 2.2 million Latter-day Saints. Including the Lindon Utah Temple, there are 32 temples in the state either in operation, under renovation, under construction or announced.

Temples differ from the Church’s meetinghouses (chapels). All are welcome to attend Sunday worship services and other weekday activities at local meetinghouses. The primary purpose of temples is for faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ to participate in sacred ceremonies that unite families forever.
