Description

The Feather River California Temple will be the eighth in the state joining the Los Angeles California Temple, Oakland California Temple, San Diego California Temple, Fresno California Temple, Redlands California Temple, Newport Beach California Temple, and Sacramento California Temple. California is home to over 760,000 Church members organized into nearly 1,300 congregations. The new temple will serve several of the 22 stakes that currently belong to the Sacramento California Temple District.[1]”Rendering Released for the Feather River California Temple,” The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints News Release, 26 Sept. 2019

History

In the early 1970s, before the Church owned the property, Mehar Tumber and his family, devout Sikhs, owned the land, where they grew peaches.

His widow, Surjit, and her children fondly remember Mehar as a man of great faith. “He loved God,” Surjit recalled.

“He was a gentlemen’s gentleman and with that, came his spirituality and his belief in God,” added his son, Ravi.

During that time, the Church had difficulty locating suitable acreage on which to build a stake center. Mr. Tumber was not in the market to sell, but that changed when he was approached by representatives of the Church.

Mehar’s daughter, Raji, remembers the day her father announced to the family he had sold the property to the Church. “He had the biggest smile on his face and was so happy,” she recalled. “He thought it was a blessing to have a religious organization … as an anchor to our property.”

For nearly 50 years, the relationship between the Tumbers and the Church has grown in mutual respect and admiration. “There’s a special spirit associated with their faith and our faith, merging together,” said President Hammarstrom.

“Dad was so thankful that it went to a church and it was about God,” said Ravi.

“The roots are established here for this place, this location and what’s surrounding it,” added Raji. “With the new temple, it’s just deeper roots.”

As with the Tumbers and their Latter-day Saint neighbors, a similar friendship has formed between the Church and the Yuba-Sutter community at large.

“This is a small town. We can’t do without each other,” said John Nicoleti, deputy director of Yuba-Sutter Habitat for Humanity. “Our faith community is actually in an uptick. We’re excited about the new temple.”

Announcement

President Russell M. Nelson announced plans for the construction of a temple for Yuba City California on On Sunday, 7 October 2018 in his closing remarks at the 188th Semiannual General Conference.

Building and maintaining temples may not change your life, “but spending time in the temple surely will,” said President Nelson. He continued, “To those who have long been absent from the temple, I encourage you to prepare and return as soon as possible.”[2]Swenson, Jason, ‘Like we had just scored a goal in the World Cup’: What the temple announcement meant to Church members across the globe,” Church News, Deseret News, 7 October 2018.

Yuba City Mayor, Preet Didbal, issued a statement pledging support for the future temple:

“I’m excited The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chose Yuba City to located [sic] their next temple. I know the members of the Church in our city, region and Northern California will benefit from this important religious facility. Yuba City is the ideal location for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days to build a temple. Known for our diversity, our city embraces all cultures and religious beliefs. I look forward to working with the Church to ensure a smooth and efficient processing of this project.”

Vice Mayor Shon Harris stated:

The history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints runs deep in our City. Church member Sam Brannon established Yuba City in 1849 and we have a community park named in his honor. Throughout my life I’ve known many members of the Church of Jesus Christ and I’ve seen the importance the Temple plays in their worship. I have no doubt the construction of a Temple in our City will be a benefit to not only the members of the Church but also to the community at large by providing a significant number of jobs and will be an economic stimulus for many years to come.[4] Facebook Post, 7 October 2018, Yuba Sutter News

Name Announced

In June of 2019 the Church officially announced the name as the Feather River California Temple.[5]Satterfield, Rick, “News Stories,” churchofjesuschristtemples.com, 5 June 2019.

Location Announced

As of 26 September 2019, the location has been announced for the Feather River California Temple, which is in the design and approval stages. The temple will be constructed on the site of the stake center for the Yuba City California Stake at 1470 Butte House Road, including a parcel that will be soon be acquired from Yuba City. The existing stake center will be demolished and replaced by the temple, a new stake center, and a distribution center.[6]Abbott, Jake. “LDS Church Announces Temple Location.” Appeal-Democrat, 26 Sept. 2019, www.appeal-democrat.com/news/lds-church-announces-temple-location/article_900f5a86-e0ea-11e9-a021-031890f708ab.html.

Render Released

On 26 September 2019, an official exterior rendering of the Feather River California Temple was released. It was stated at that time that additional exterior and interior renderings will be made public later.[7]“Rendering Released for the Feather River California Temple.” newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org, 26 Sept. 2019, newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/rendering-released-for-the-feather-river-california-temple.

Groundbreaking Announced

The First PResidency of the Church announced the groundbreaking date for the Feather River California Temple on 28 April 2020.

On July 18, 2020, Elder Scott D. Whiting of the North America West Area presidency will preside over the groundbreaking ceremony for the Feather River California Temple, located at 1470 Butte House Road in Yuba City. Attendance at the site will be by invitation only. Additional details will be announced through local leaders. The site for the 38,000-square-foot temple will be shared by a new meetinghouse and distribution center.[8] “Feather River California Temple Groundbreaking Set for July 2020,” The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints News Release, 28 Apr. 2020.

Repurposing Stake Center Material

The building, which served Latter-day Saints for more than 40 years in the twin cities of Marysville and Yuba City, was razed to make way for what is regarded as the most sacred of structures to members of the faith: a temple.

That bond of fellowship was exemplified in the outpouring of service in May 2020, when more than a dozen different faith and charity organizations helped dismantle and repurpose valuable material from the Church’s Yuba City California Stake Center, ensuring it has another chance to benefit others in the community.

Wearing face masks amid the COVID-19 pandemic, helpers removed cabinets and doors, furniture, pews and even the gymnasium floor of the Yuba City California Stake Center, a multicongregational house of worship for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

“We want to give some of what we are to others,” said local Church leader Paul Watkins, an Area Seventy in the North America West Area. “This, in some ways, symbolizes that.”

Local Church leader Yuba City California Stake President Steve Hammarstrom added, “Even though the building’s going away, a piece of it is living on in more than a dozen churches and other … nonprofits and schools.”

Habitat for Humanity

Solid-wood doors and cabinets from the stake center were given to Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, which helps fund the construction of new homes. “We’re probably dealing with 10 or 20,000 dollars’ worth of basic materials, because it’s in really good condition,” said Nicoleti, who estimated the money will help place families into new homes.

Yuba-Sutter Community Task Force

This latest service project is not unusual for the twin cities of Marysville and Yuba City but rather the norm. It’s the result of a remarkable concept forged out of love and friendship, known as the Yuba-Sutter Community Task Force.

Marysville City Council member Stephanie McKenzie said divine inspiration was instrumental in creating the task force.

“What has been the most successful are the relationships that we’ve built. We know each other. We trust each other,” said McKenzie, who is also the director of the committee. “Because of those relationships … everybody is so supportive of each other. It’s so easy to make something happen. We just say, ‘OK, we’re in this together.’”

Virgil Atkinson, a Latter-day Saint who has served on the task force since its inception, said, “The task force is the vehicle to bring all of the churches and all of the political entities … and organizations … together. And so, that breaks down that wall between everybody.”

Atkinson helped many of the faith and charity organizations in the twin cities procure their lists of needed items from the stake center prior to dismantling. “We walked the halls with about 12 to 14 different pastors and organizations. That was a cherished experience,” he remembered.

Bethel A.M.E. Church

Gwen Ford was part of the group with Atkinson and is the church administrator for one of the oldest African American churches in California, which dates back to the gold rush era. “We are planning to start a couple of nonprofits, economic development and education,” said Ford.

The Bethel A.M.E. Church does a lot with very little. Folding chairs, chalkboards and display stands and cases are a welcome addition to the church’s community efforts. In addition, a decorative stone bench now complements the A.M.E. Church entrance.

“We can’t afford to buy this stuff,” said Ford. “[These] things are going to be very, very helpful. It’s not an overabundance of things, but it’s the exact things that we need.”

Faith Lutheran Church

The Yuba stake center’s baby grand piano is exactly what the Faith Lutheran Church needed. Its music now accompanies worship services and chorale performances. Pastor Bernie Fricke, a talented singer and chorale leader, said the new piano replaced their well-used piano. “We’re not a money-making church with our concerts, but we certainly want to serve the community. So I was very happy for the Church to offer that for us.”

Five30 Church and Events Center

Pastor Jim Carpenter said he was divinely inspired to create a church and events center as a refuge for the community. “It’s about our common ground. And what we’re doing with the change that we want to see in our culture, our community, our society.”

Pastor Carpenter said it was a tender mercy and a literal answer to prayer when he got a call from his Latter-day Saint friends. His newly organized church needed chairs — lots of chairs — that could quickly be set up and taken down for various events. “What we need is the convenience of the folding chairs, and not only the folding chairs but the carts to stack it up and make a smooth turnaround.”

Smaller items that help a church and events center function were also needed, but they were pricey to purchase on the ministry’s budget. “My wife had just made a list and said, ‘Lord, we need water pitchers, and we need salt and pepper shakers.’ We walked [into the stake center kitchen] and there’s this tray full of 50 sets of salt and pepper shakers. I said, ‘I will take those!’ My faith grew immediately,” recalled the pastor.

Cherished Relationships, New Beginnings

What was cultivated by a gracious peach grower more than 40 years ago has borne amazing fruit and promises so much more to Latter-day Saints and their friends and neighbors as they say goodbye to an old friend and hello to a new one: the Feather River California Temple.

“This church and our house — it’s all been blessed a million times,” reflected Raji Tumber. “We are glad Dad made that decision [to sell].”

“The temple coming here … is special. And he would be absolutely thankful for it over anything else,” added Ravi Tumber.[9]“California Community Welcomes Construction of Temple.” newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org, 13 July 2020, newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/california-community-welcomes-construction-of-temple.

Groundbreaking

Exterior

The building is constructed of structural steel and precast concrete panels, fabricated and installed by Willis Construction in San Juan Bautista, California.

Richardson Design Partnership designed the art glass with assistance from Holdman Studios. The glass’s main design motif is the regionally significant almond blossom.

The landscape architect is Loci, with local support from HLA Group of Sacramento, California. The landscape plan is inspired by the mediterranean climate of the Sacramento Valley and the area’s rich history and biodiversity. The design incorporates several mature native oak, redwood, and hackberry trees already on the site. Some prominent features are the 100-year-old olive trees transplanted from a local orchard, which will be arranged in groves both in front of and behind the temple.

The temple grounds are enclosed with a six-foot-tall steel picket fence, powder-coated with a bronze color to match other metal fixtures on the site. Precast concrete pillars are located at the gated entrances to the grounds.

Interior

The general carpet pattern was pulled from early Christian architecture. The green color represents the rice fields and the farming community in the area. The carpet carving design incorporates the almond flower to coordinate with the art glass. The rug designs are reminiscent of an open field of local wildflowers and the California poppy, the state flower. The stone floor consists of Crema Beige (Iran), Emperador Light (Turkey), Inca Gold (Pakistan), Verde Lichen (Iran), Rojo Alicante (Spain), and Vanilla (Turkey) marble. Colors were chosen to correspond with the fabrics and represent the local flora. The stone pattern throughout the building references other buildings in the area. The stone pattern around the baptistry is pulled from the art glass designs.

Decorative paint is used in a simple fashion along the patron path. In the ordinance areas, the decorative paint is an abstraction of the local flora and its underlying geometry. It is used to accentuate the architecture at key points and connections. It signifies the natural beauty of the local area and the principles that contribute to that beauty.

Art glass is in all the windows of the temple. The arched windows of the second level and the ordinance spaces depict the almond blossom, representing the agricultural industry of the area. It is a celebration of beauty and the rewards of hard work. The natural colors of the almond blossom are used against a backdrop of yellow fading to blue.

The interior lights are brass, with crystal being added in the ordinance spaces. All the fixtures feature a shallow bowl. In the ordinance rooms, the shallow curve of the bowl is in opposition to the vault of the ceiling, representing two complementary elements that complete the circle.

Decorative millwork is used on the altars, the recommend desk, the baptismal font, and the doors leading into ordinance spaces. The pattern used in the millwork is a modified quatrefoil. This again comes from early Christian architecture and is an abstraction of the four-leaf clover.

The font railing is an abstraction of tall reeds that grow at the edges of bodies of water. It also draws on the shape of the rice plant grown extensively in the area.

The doors are made of cherry wood, cherries being a significant agricultural product in the area. The door hardware is brass. The hardware design uses arches as well as a reed-and-ribbon motif. The design also features abstract forms of flora.

Simple textured wallcoverings are used throughout the building. A leaf pattern adorns the bride’s room, hearkening to the art glass and rug designs. This leaf pattern is derived from early Christian representations of the olive branch.

The ceilings in the temple’s ordinance spaces are vaulted. This is a reference to early Christian and local historical architecture.
