On 5 September 2019, an official rendering of the Saratoga Springs Utah Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was released with the announcement of the groundbreaking ceremony. The groundbreaking will take place on Saturday, 19 October 2019. Attendance at the ceremony is by invitation only, with the public living in the general area invited to view the proceedings live from local meetinghouses. Elder Craig C. Christensen, General Authority Seventy and president of the Utah Area of the Church, will preside over the event.
The Saratoga Springs Utah Temple was announced by then-Church President Thomas S. Monson on 2 April 2017, during the Sunday morning session of general conference.
The new Utah temple will be located in the new Beacon Pointe subdivision, west of Redwood Road and north of Meadow Side Drive.Plans call for a three-story temple of approximately 87,000 square feet. An adjacent 21,000-square-foot meetinghouse will also be built. The temple site is 22.7 acres in total and sits near the western shores of Utah Lake.
There are currently seventeen temples in operation in Utah. President Russell M. Nelson has announced temples to be constructed in Layton (April 2018 general conference), Washington County (October 2018 general conference), and Tooele Valley (April 2019 general conference). The St. George Utah Temple will close on 4 November 2019, and the Salt Lake Temple will close soon after, on 28 December 2019, each for extensive renovations.
The Saratoga Springs Utah Temple will be the eighteenth temple built in Utah and the fifth built in Utah County, following the Provo Utah Temple (1972), the Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple (1996), the Payson Utah Temple (2015), and the Provo City Center Temple (2016).
Saratoga Springs is a recently established Utah community, incorporated in 1997, located on the west side of Utah Lake in northern Utah County. Church membership in Saratoga Springs and the bordering communities of Lehi and Eagle Mountain has grown rapidly over the past twenty years. There are currently seven stakes in Saratoga Springs, fourteen stakes in Lehi, and eight in Eagle Mountain. The stakes that will belong to the temple district have not been determined.
