On Sunday, 7 October 2018, during the 188th semiannual [[General Conference|general conference]] of [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]], President [[Russell M. Nelson]] announced that a temple will be built in Yuba City, California. Building and maintaining temples may not change your life, "but spending time in the temple surely will," [https://www.thechurchnews.com/temples/2018-10-07/president-nelson-announces-plans-to-build-12-new-temples-156138 said President Nelson]. He continued, "To those who have long been absent from the temple, I encourage you to prepare and return as soon as possible."

The temple will be built at 1470 Butte House Road in Yuba City, California. An existing meetinghouse on that site will be demolished. Plans call for a temple of just over 38,000 square feet, as well as a new meetinghouse and distribution center to be built next to the temple. 

The temple site will cover nine acres, which includes a small parcel of land the Church plans to purchase from Yuba City in the near future. Detailed design plans for the temple are still being developed. Further information — including interior and exterior renderings — will be made public later. A groundbreaking date has not been set yet.

Other temples are located in Fresno, Los Angeles, Newport Beach, Oakland, Redlands, Sacramento and San Diego. 

With 767,252 members in 1,278 congregations, the Feather River California Temple will be the eighth temple in California and the first temple built in this Northern California city, which is 40-plus miles north of Sacramento, California. The other temples in California are located in [[Fresno California Temple|Fresno]], [[Los Angeles California Temple|Los Angeles]], [[Newport Beach California Temple|Newport Beach]], [[Oakland California Temple|Oakland]], [[Redlands California Temple|Redlands]], [[Sacramento California Temple|Sacramento]], and [[San Diego California Temple|San Diego]].
