President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, will be dedicating the Lindon Utah Temple, the church announced Tuesday.
President Eyring will dedicate the Lindon Utah Temple on Sunday, May 3, in a single dedicatory session to take place at 11 a.m. MDT.
He will be accompanied by Elder Steven R. Bangerter, executive director of the church’s temple department, and his wife, Sister Susan Bangerter, as well as Elder Jorge T. Becerra of the church’s Utah Area Presidency and his wife, Sister Debbie Becerra.
The dedicatory session will be broadcast to all church units within the temple district.
“The temple is very much a place of light,” Elder Becerra told the Deseret News at the Lindon temple’s media day on March 9.
It is “a place of learning” and a “place where you put your life in order, in order to increase the light in your life,” he said.
The Lindon Utah Temple was first announced during the church’s October 2020 general conference by the late church President Russell M. Nelson.
Ground for the Lindon temple was then broken in April 2022, and once construction finished, the Lindon temple opened for public tours from March 12 through April 11.
Once dedicated, the three-story Lindon Utah Temple will become the church’s 25th dedicated temple in the Beehive State and help serve the state’s more than 2.2 million Latter-day Saints.
It will also become the first Latter-day Saint temple in Utah County to have two operating baptismal fonts.
Three other temples across Utah — the Syracuse, Smithfield and Salt Lake temples — currently have or are planned to have two temple baptistries, as well.
