The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will break ground on the Lehi Utah Temple on Dec. 5, the church announced Monday. Elder John A. McCune, first counselor in the Utah Area Presidency, will preside.

The roughly 85,000-square-foot temple will sit on a 22.48-acre property in Lehi's foothills at 3950 North and Center Street, with a new meetinghouse on the same site, according to the church's rendering and announcement.

The late President Russell M. Nelson announced the temple in April 2024. Utah has 24 operating temples and eight more announced, under construction or under renovation, and the Salt Lake Temple is set to reopen next year.
