Church President Russell M. Nelson announced the Syracuse Utah Temple during the April 2020 general conference.
“Temples are a crowning part of the Restoration of the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ,” he said then. “In God’s goodness and generosity, He is bringing the blessings of the temple closer to His children everywhere.”
Utah, the Church’s world headquarters, is home to nearly 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 Syracuse will be the 31st temple in Utah either in operation, under renovation, under construction or announced.
Temples in operation in the state are in American Fork (Mount Timpanogos), Bountiful, Brigham City, Cedar City, Draper, Layton, Logan, Manti, Monticello, Ogden, Orem, Payson, Provo (Provo City Center), Saratoga Springs, South Jordan (Jordan River and Oquirrh Mountain), St. George (Red Cliffs and St. George), Taylorsville, Tooele (Deseret Peak), and Vernal. Temples under construction in Utah are in Ephraim, Heber Valley, Lindon and Smithfield. The Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple and Salt Lake Temple are under renovation. Temples in Lehi, Price and West Jordan were announced in 2024.
The ceremonies conducted inside each temple teach about the purpose of life and unite families, both past and present. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints promise to keep God’s commandments, support His work, live the higher law that Christ taught while on earth, remain chaste and dedicate their lives to building the Church of Christ.
