About the Fort Collins Colorado Temple
Announced on April 2, 2011 by President Thomas S. Monson at General Conference — noting some 140,000 Church members in Colorado at the time — and dedicated on October 16, 2016 by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, second counselor in the First Presidency, the Fort Collins Colorado Temple is the 153rd operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the second built in Colorado, following the Denver Temple. The 42,000-square-foot temple sits on 15.69 acres at 2180 Majestic Drive, at the intersection of Timberline and Trilby Roads in southeast Fort Collins. The groundbreaking was held on August 24, 2013, presided over by Elder Ronald A. Rasband, who compared the temple's construction to Solomon's dedication of his ancient temple — and who noted that when this house of the Lord was complete, it would be "a house of prayer, of revelation, of learning and instruction."
The temple's approval process involved multiple neighborhood meetings and city hearings, with some Westchase residents raising concerns about traffic and steeple height. The Church agreed to widen Timberline Road, add turn lanes and sidewalk, and turn off steeple lighting by 10:00 p.m. — and the Planning and Zoning Board ultimately approved the plans unanimously in February 2013. The Angel Moroni statue was placed atop the spire August 26, 2015, drawing an audience of members and passersby who watched a crane hoist the gilded statue to the top. The three-week public open house drew 105,000 visitors, including Wyoming Governor Matt Mead, Colorado Lieutenant Governor Donna Lynn, and Fort Collins Mayor Wayne Troxell. A youth cultural celebration the evening before the dedication — held at Hughes Stadium on the Colorado State University campus — featured the history of the Church in Colorado and Wyoming through song and dance. At the cornerstone ceremony, President Uchtdorf reminded attendees that it is the Savior who is the true cornerstone "in our lives and in His Church."
