New Washington County Temple Location Announced

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the location of a new temple in Washington County. The temple, which was announced in October 2018 by church President Russell M. Nelson, will be built on a 14-acre site located northeast of 3000 East 1580 South in St. George. Plans call for a three-story temple of approximately 88,000 square feet.


Detailed design plans for the new temple are still being developed. Further information — including interior and exterior renderings — will be made public later. A groundbreaking date has not been set yet. Project leaders will soon start working with city officials on preliminary plans for the temple, and they will begin filing public documents in the coming months. St George News
