Payson Utah Temple
The Payson Utah Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Payson, Utah. The intent to build the temple was announced in a news release on January 25, 2010, by church president Thomas S. Monson. The temple is located on the southernmost edge of Utah's Wasatch Front, and is the state's 15th temple.
The temple has a single attached central spire with a statue of the angel Moroni. The temple designed by the firm Architectural Nexus. A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on October 8, 2011, conducted by Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. The temple was dedicated by Henry B. Eyring, of the church's First Presidency, on June 7, 2015.
The intent to construct the temple was announced on January 25, 2010, by church president Thomas S. Monson. The temple is located near the intersection of 930 West and 1550 South in Payson, on previously undeveloped land. Additional details, such as the planned size, were announced later. The city boundaries of Payson were extended by approximately 250 acres in the South Meadows Annexation, presented on July 14, 2010 and approved the next month. The temple site was deeded to the church on August 6, 2010.
Dallin H. Oaks presided at the groundbreaking ceremony on October 8, 2011, with William R. Walker conducting and Steven E. Snow, Jay E. Jensen, and Janette Hales Beckham also in attendance. Jason Chaffetz (representative for Utah's 3rd congressional district, which includes Payson) participated in the shovel ceremony.
When construction was completed in 2015, the temple became one of the largest built in recent years, at 96,630 square feet on a 15-acre lot. A public open house was held from April 24 to May 23, 2015, excluding Sundays. The temple was dedicated by Henry B. Eyring on June 7, 2015.
In 2020, like all the church's others, the Payson Utah Temple was closed for a time in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The temple was built in a “classical architectural style influenced by the pioneer vernacular architecture of the area.” Designed by Architectural Nexus, its architecture reflects both the cultural heritage of the city of Payson and its spiritual significance to the church.
The temple is on a 10.63-acre plot, and the landscaping around the temple features scenic views of the nearby mountains. These elements are designed to provide a tranquil setting that enhances the sacred atmosphere of the site.
