During his general conference message, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Spanish Fork, Utah. The Spanish Fork Utah Temple is one of fifteen new temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1] announced on April 6, 2025, during the 195th Annual General Conference.

The Spanish Fork Utah Temple will be the ninth temple in Utah County. Utah County is also home to Brigham Young University.

Spanish Fork is in southern Utah Valley, with Utah Lake to the northwest and the Wasatch Range to the east. Latter-day Saints settled Spanish Fork in 1851, home to about 50,000 residents today.

Utah, the Church’s world headquarters, is home to more than 2.2 million Latter-day Saints, approximately two-thirds of the state’s population of 3.5 million people. The temple in the city of Spanish Fork will be the 32nd temple in Utah either in operation, under renovation, under construction, or announced.

President Sean R. Dixon of the Spanish Fork East Stake, newly called as second counselor in the Young Men general presidency, was “thrilled” by the announcement and said there is a need for more temples in Utah, as incredible as that may sound.
“I know [the new temple] will bring an incredible spirit to the Spanish Fork area,” said Dixon, who has lived in the area for nearly 30 years. “From when we arrived to what is now, it has changed so much. We have enjoyed going to the Payson temple, but to have one literally in our backyard, it is going to be a huge blessing.””[2]

Location

The Spanish Fork Utah Temple is currently in the planning stages. The specific location will be announced later.
