The Orem Utah Temple public open house was on Friday, October 27, through Saturday, December 16, 2023, excluding Sundays and Thanksgiving Day. A media day will kick off the event on Monday, October 23, followed by guest tours through Thursday, October 26. The temple will be dedicated in two sessions on Sunday, January 21, 2024. Church President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Orem on October 5, 2019. The Orem Utah Temple will be the first in Orem, Utah County, and the 22nd in Utah. Orem Temple is built on a 16-acre site owned by the church. The Orem Temple will be a three-story, 70,000-square-foot building. The groundbreaking of the Orem Utah Temple is on September 5, 2020, by Craig C. Christensen. The exterior finish of the temple is Portuguese granite. The Temple has a single attached central spire with no plans to have a gold-leafed angel Moroni. The Orem Utah Temple has four instruction rooms, four sealing rooms, and one baptistry. There was only a small gathering of about thirty people. At the gathering on September 5, 2002, Elder Craig C. Christensen, president of the Utah Area, presided at the event and said in his remarks: "The Orem Utah Temple will become an added refuge of strength in an increasingly uncertain world—a holy place where we learn and live more fully the great plan of happiness made possible by our Savior, Jesus Christ." Elder Evan A. Schmutz, a member of the Utah Area presidency who grew up in Orem, said: "The temple will act as a beacon, drawing the gaze of millions as they pass by this hallowed ground and inviting the devoted service of hundreds of thousands of faithful Latter-day Saints, as the ordinances of salvation are offered to the living and the dead. There is also a brand new 20,000-square-foot meetinghouse on the same property. If you want to attend a church near you, click here for the chapel address and time.
