The Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple

of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

The Mt. Timpanogos Temple was built to ease overcrowding at the Provo Temple, which is the busiest temple in the world. A twin of the Bountiful Temple, the Mount Timpanogos Temple has a keystone motif. The temple is named for the mountain which rises immediately behind the temple. It was given this name after a controversy arose over its name. Since the temple straddles the border between the cities of American Fork and Pleasant Grove, Utah, both towns wanted the temple named after them. The Church wisely chose a unique, and appropriate, name for the temple.

The temple was announced in May 1993.
Ground was broken and construction begun on 9 October 1993.
The cornerstone was laid and the temple dedicated on 13-19 October 1996.
There are 8 Sealing rooms and 4 Ordinance rooms in the 104,000 square foot temple.
The spire is 190 feet tall.
The Mt. Timpanogos Temple serves stakes in northern Wasatch and Utah Counties, Utah.
