LINDON, Utah — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the open house and dedication dates for its newest temple — the Lindon Utah Temple, a striking twin-spired structure that will soon join Utah County’s growing list of sacred landmarks.
According to Monday’s announcement, the public open house will run from March 12 through April 11, 2026, giving visitors a rare opportunity to tour the interior before its official dedication on May 3, 2026.
The 81,000-square-foot, three-story temple is designed with two elegant spires and sits prominently within Lindon’s scenic foothills, offering panoramic views of Utah Valley.
Utah County’s Sixth Operating Temple
Once completed, the Lindon Temple will become the sixth operating temple in Utah County, the state’s second-most-populous region. It joins temples in Provo, Payson, Mount Timpanogos, Orem, and Saratoga Springs.
The Provo Rock Canyon Temple is currently undergoing renovations, and two additional temples — in Lehi and Spanish Fork — are in various stages of planning and construction.
In total, Utah — home to the LDS Church’s global headquarters — now has 32 temples that are either dedicated, under construction, or announced, reinforcing its title as the most temple-dense region in the world.
Five Years in the Making
The Lindon Temple was first announced in 2020 by then-President Russell M. Nelson, as part of a global wave of temple expansion that has continued under current church leadership.
For many local residents and members of the faith, the temple’s completion marks the culmination of years of anticipation.
Renderings released by the church show a light-stone exterior accented with spires and arched windows, reflecting the modern yet reverent design language seen in recent LDS temples worldwide.
Temples and Their Role in LDS Faith
Unlike regular meetinghouses, which are open to the public and used for weekly worship, LDS temples are considered houses of the Lord — places where members participate in sacred ordinances, including eternal marriage ceremonies and proxy baptisms.
Open houses offer a brief period for people of all backgrounds to step inside before temples are dedicated and reserved for faithful members.
The Lindon Temple’s open house will likely attract thousands of visitors from across Utah and neighboring states, as seen with recent temple openings in Orem and Saratoga Springs.
With Utah’s population continuing to grow and temple attendance demand increasing, the new Lindon location adds both convenience and symbolic importance to the region’s Latter-day Saint community.
