Jordan River Utah Temple

The Jordan River Utah Temple is the 20th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The building of the temple was announced on 3 February 1978. It is one of 28 temples in the state of Utah. Located in South Jordan, Utah, it was built with a modern single-spire design. It is one of five temples featuring an angel Moroni statue holding the gold plates. The other four temples which feature an angel Moroni statue holding the gold plates are the Washington DC Temple, Los Angeles California Temple, Seattle Washington Temple, and Mexico City Mexico Temple.

The exterior of the temple is finished with cast stone and white marble chips. Although the tower appears to be of the same material, it actually contains fiberglass in a product called cemlite in order to reduce weight.

The Jordan River Temple serves members of the Church in Southern Salt Lake County, Utah. Geographically, this is the smallest temple district in the world, but the temple is one of the Church's busiest. The temple has a total of 148,236 square feet, six ordinance rooms, and 16 sealing rooms. The temple also has the largest capacity, with each ordinance room able to accommodate 125 people. It is located on 15 acres.

Unlike many of the temples, which are built mostly with tithing funds, the Jordan River Temple site was given to the Church and all of its construction was paid for by members in the 134 stakes within the temple district.

Site Dedication, Groundbreaking Ceremony, and Public Open House

A site dedication and groundbreaking ceremony were held on 9 June 1979. Spencer W. Kimball, then President of the Church, presided over the ceremony and dedication. Usually, during the groundbreaking ceremony, a small shovel-full of dirt is turned to represent the beginning of construction, but President Kimball felt that he should follow his oft-quoted motto "lengthen your stride," and used a large power scoop shovel to begin the building process instead of the small traditional groundbreaking ceremony shovel.

The Jordan River Temple was open to the public for tours on 29 September through 31 October 1981. Over half a million people toured the temple during its open house.

Jordan River Utah Temple Dedication

Marion G. Romney, a member of the First Presidency, dedicated the Jordan River Temple in fifteen sessions held 16 November through 20 November 1981. President Kimball was not able to give the dedicatory prayer because he was recovering from a recent surgery, although he had prepared it. He was in attendance at the first dedicatory session. More than 160,000 members were able to attend the dedicatory services. For a group of thirty in attendance at the dedication, it was a very spiritual and nostalgic event. These thirty elderly men and women had been at the historic dedication of the first temple in the Salt Lake Valley, the Salt Lake Temple. Most were very young but remember the event vividly.

Jordan River Utah Temple Closed for Renovations

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced the closure of the Jordan River Utah Temple in the Salt Lake Valley, from 15 February 2016 through the latter part of 2017 to undergo extensive renovation. Following the renovation, the temple was rededicated. Other temples in the Salt Lake Valley - Salt Lake Temple, Draper Utah Temple and Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple - accommodated Latter-day Saints from the Jordan River Temple District while renovations were made.

According to a news release from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, during the temple’s closure, the "entire property, inside and out, has been refreshed with new finishes, furnishings, carpet, paintings, and murals. The plumbing, heating and air-conditioning systems have been updated, making the sacred structure more energy efficient with improved circulation. Seismic work and waterproofing have also been done on the foundation, a new roof has been added and landscaping has been refreshed."
