HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"Into this house, when it is completed, we expect to enter to enjoy the blessings of the priesthood, and receive our washings, our anointings, our endowments, and our sealings; and the brethren will be sealed to brethren to connect the links and make perfect the chain from ourselves to Father Adam."
—Brigham Young

Framing the Meetinghouse at the Springfield Missouri Temple Site

The first signs of a superstructure are emerging at the Springfield Missouri Temple site, where wood framing for the adjoining meetinghouse is rising. Located on a 38-acre property on South Farm Road in southeast Springfield, the meetinghouse is taking form as crews erect the walls and set roof trusses over the broad, single-story structure. The groundbreaking ceremony for Missouri’s third temple was held just three months ago.

Cladding the Tower of the Austin Texas Temple

As stone cladding nears completion on the main body of the Austin Texas Temple, crews have begun work on the top tier of the tower, adding another layer of architectural detail to the building’s prominent central feature. Work is also taking shape across the grounds, where lamp posts are being installed along the developing walkways and drives and posts for the perimeter fence are being set in place.

Building the Basement Walls for the Heber Valley Utah Temple

Reinforced concrete walls are now rising for the basement of the Heber Valley Utah Temple, even as the project remains the subject of a legal challenge. On September 4, the Utah Supreme Court heard oral arguments concerning Wasatch County’s approval of the temple. Nearby Red Ledges residents argue that the county improperly exercised its land-use authority in approving the project, while attorneys for the Church and the county maintain that the approval was within the county’s authority under state law. The justices have not established a timetable for issuing a decision. The court previously ruled that construction could continue while the lawsuit is pending.

Crews are removing the roof and dismantling the interior, marking the first visible step toward development of the temple site. Once demolition is complete, the property will be cleared and prepared for the formal groundbreaking and subsequent construction. No groundbreaking date has been announced yet.
