The temple will be located in the new Beacon Pointe subdivision, west of Redwood Road and north of Meadow Side Drive. Plans call for a three-story temple of approximately 87,000 square feet. An adjacent 21,000-square-foot meetinghouse will also be built.[3]“Saratoga Springs Utah Temple Plans Provided.” newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org, 7 May 2019, newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/saratoga-springs-utah-temple-plans.

Groundbreaking

On October 19, 2019, Elder Craig C. Christensen, president of the Utah Area, presided at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Saratoga Springs Utah Temple. In his remarks, he spoke of an experience he had walking the temple site a month earlier: “I realized…how this particular temple will bless many individuals and families, including your children, your marriages, your families, and, especially, many of your ancestors.” He added: “This is the place where your children and families will be protected from the evils that are ever present in the world today, and to make sacred covenants with the Lord.” His words reached an audience of tens of thousands of members and guests gathered both at the temple site and at local meetinghouses. Following the formal proceedings, attendees were invited to take pictures and turn a shovelful of dirt to commemorate the historic occasion.[6]”Ground Broken for Utah’s 18th Temple,” The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints News Release, 19 Oct. 2019.

Groundbreaking

Ground was broken for the house of the Lord on Oct. 19, 2019. President Mark B. James, a stake president in the temple district, took an engraved shovel from the event and visited second-hour Church classes in the stake. He testified to Saints that just as shovels soften ground in preparation for a temple, “we need to soften our own hearts. I invited them to prayerfully set a goal of how they needed to prepare for the temple.”[7]Schneider, David. “Dedicated Saratoga Springs Utah Temple ‘A Sign of the Lord’s Trust.’” Church News, 1 Feb. 2024, www.thechurchnews.com/temples/2023/8/13/23827933/saratoga-springs-utah-temple-dedication.

Construction

Due to the high bedrock, blasting was necessary to clear way for the foundation. Precisely placed explosives are breaking through the unyielding bedrock so that excavation may proceed to the required depth. The solid bedrock will provide a firm footing for the buildings’ foundations.[8]Satterfield, Rick. “An Explosive Start to Construction in Saratoga Springs, Utah,” 9 January 2020, ChurchofJesusChristTemples.org

Finial

A gold-leafed figure of the angel Moroni was set atop the newly installed spire on the Saratoga Springs Utah Temple on 20 August 202.1 Moroni has been long-standing symbol of the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ. “Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people” (Revelation 14:6).

Dedication

The Saratoga Springs Utah Temple was dedicated by President Henry B. Eyring, second counselor in the First Presidency, on 13 August 2023.

Other Church leaders in attendance at the event included Elder Kevin R. Duncan, executive director of the Temple Department; Elder Hugo E. Martinez, first counselor in the Utah Area presidency; Elder Adeyinka A. Ojediran, a General Authority Seventy; and Bishop L. Todd Budge, second counselor in the Presiding Bishopric.

President Eyring said that Church members in the temple district “have been given this temple as a sign of the Lord’s trust … and His confidence that [they] will respond with greater faith and energy. … He knows your desire to be lifted and to become a more righteous people — just as the world becomes more contentious and fallen.”

Interior

Inside this house of the Lord, styles and artwork draw heavily on images and colors representing the nearby Utah Lake and Wasatch Mountains, like hues of purples, blues, greens and golds. Various stylized wildflowers — including the iris, daisy and chrysanthemum — are represented throughout.

The flooring is a combination of carpet, area rugs, porcelain tile, ceramic tile, glass tile and stone. The carpet patterns are carved on-site, and the carved patterns were designed by the architectural team and Gregg Johnson of Halfmoon Studio, located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Custom rugs in the bride’s room, entry and patron waiting areas were manufactured by Rugs International, headquartered in the United States, and manufactured in Guangdong, China.

The decorative paint and bas relief carvings throughout the temple were designed by the architectural team and Church designer, with the assistance of Aaron Allen of Allen’s Commercial Arts LLC. Stylized flowers used throughout the temple represent various wildflowers found in the area including the iris, daisy and chrysanthemum.

The art glass on the main level at the baptistry depicts snowy egrets in wetlands and grasses, reflecting the Saratoga Springs City logo. Utah Lake is represented in the wave and water patterns at the bottom of the art glass panels. Stylized gold shapes above the water represent silhouettes of birds, and the stylized mountains represent the Wasatch Mountains.

The decorative light fixtures are manufactured and designed through HB Lighting in New York.

The millwork, doors and standard wood for the temple is a Sapele African Mahogany finished by Granite Mill. Some doors have interior art glass incorporated into their design. The style of the millwork is Art Deco.

The design of the decorative door hardware, manufactured by Luna Bronze in Provo, Utah, replicates architectural detailing found in the temple. The grass/wetland design found in the center portion of the hardware and the water design found at the bottom of the hardware is taken from the art glass.

The majority of the ceilings are painted gypsum. There are locations that have stepped ceilings to enhance the architecture in the space. Custom ceiling medallions featuring floral and foliage embellishments, manufactured with Allen’s Commercial Arts, are found throughout the temple.

The temple’s original artwork includes “Evening, Distant Mountain,” by Brad Aldridge; “Timpanogos from Across the Lake,” by Bruce Brainard; “Evening Flight,” by Adair Payne; “Timpanogos Sunrise,” by Ken Stockton; and “Jordan River Sunrise,” by Ken Stockton.

Entry

Custom rugs in the entry and patron waiting areas were manufactured by Rugs International, headquartered in the United States, and manufactured in Guangdong, China.

The decorative paint was applied by Aaron Allen of Allen’s Commercial Arts LLC.

Baptistry

A custom pattern on the floor in the baptismal font was created by the architectural team and the Church designer. The interior of the font has TREND Mosaic Brillante glass tiles in various colors of blues, whites, creams and purples. The custom pattern of the natural stone floor in the lower font area underneath the oxen was also designed by the architectural team.

In the baptistry and other areas, stylized lines representing water and waves reference the nearby water in the Wasatch Mountain Range and Utah Lake.

The art glass on the main level at the baptistry depicts snowy egrets in wetlands and grasses, reflecting the Saratoga Springs City logo. Utah Lake is represented in the wave and water patterns at the bottom of the art glass panels. Stylized gold shapes above the water represent silhouettes of birds, and the stylized mountains represent the Wasatch Mountains.

The font railings were designed by Naylor Wentworth Lund in Salt Lake City, Utah. The font railings are made of antique brass, Sapele African mahogany and glass. The simple linework detail etched around the perimeter of the glass panels was pulled from the decorative paint design.
