Rising along a bend in Highway 20, the Teton River Idaho Temple has become a captivating new addition to the North Rexburg landscape. Once dedicated, the temple will serve as the city’s second operating temple, meeting the needs of the growing Church membership in the Upper Snake River Valley as well as the student body of Brigham Young University–Idaho. Stone cladding continues to advance across the temple’s exterior walls, giving the edifice an increasingly finished appearance.

Construction of the Grand Rapids Michigan Temple is advancing on both the interior and exterior of the building. At the rear of the property, a circular concrete plaza has been installed, and mulch is being added to the surrounding garden spaces. At the front of the temple, work is underway on the entrance terrace, while cladding installation has begun on the entrance portico. Installation of the tower cladding will soon follow.

Stone panels inscribed with the sacred words “Holiness to the Lord – The House of the Lord” have been installed above the front portico of the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple, while hanging brackets for the exterior cladding system are attached to the upper walls of the building. Landscaping is taking shape around the temple grounds, with small flowers and shrubs being planted, including in the medians at the driveway entrances. The concrete base for a monument sign has been installed, and crews are completing the final sections of permanent fencing around the property. Behind the temple, forms are being set for sidewalks connecting the staircases.

Elder Hutch U. Fale of the United States West Area Presidency presided at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Coeur d'Alene Idaho Temple on Saturday, August 29, 2026. In in his dedicatory prayer, he prayed: "Please bless this community, even the surrounding areas, that all may see and witness that Thy Son and His holy house are a symbol and source of peace, the true peace that is only available through Him."
