Jordan River Utah Temple Pictures

The Jordan River Temple stands in the southern Salt Lake Valley in South Jordan — its 219-foot white spire rising just west of Interstate 15, a familiar landmark to millions of Wasatch Front residents. The second temple built in the Salt Lake Valley and the 20th in the Church, it was dedicated in 1981 and rededicated in 2018 following an extensive renovation. With 148,236 square feet and 16 sealing rooms, it is one of the largest temples in the Church. Our collection of Jordan River Temple pictures, art prints, and paintings captures this beloved landmark in a range of styles and sizes.

About the Jordan River Utah Temple

Announced February 3, 1978 and dedicated November 16–20, 1981 by President Marion G. Romney — the only temple he ever dedicated — the Jordan River Temple was the 20th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the 7th built in Utah. Construction and maintenance costs for many years were funded entirely by donations from local members, with the 15-acre temple site likewise gifted to the Church. At the unconventional groundbreaking ceremony, President Spencer W. Kimball delivered his address, offered the dedicatory prayer, then climbed aboard a Caterpillar tractor and personally operated the controls to move the first shovelful of dirt — putting into dramatic action his famous call to "lengthen our stride." Just hours before the dedication, President Kimball — recovering from surgery and a lengthy hospital stay — was not expected to attend, but arrived to tearful applause at the Celestial Room just before the ceremony began.

The Jordan River Temple holds several distinctions in Church history. Its Angel Moroni statue is one of only five in the Church depicted holding the gold plates rather than a trumpet. It is one of only four temples with six instruction rooms, and together with the Oquirrh Mountain Temple it was the first pair of temples built in the same city. The temple closed in February 2016 for an extensive two-year renovation: the Celestial Room, bride's room, initiatory areas, and baptistry were remodeled, a separate baptistry entrance was added, escalators were replaced with staircases, the roof was replaced, seismic upgrades were made, and the entire interior and exterior were refreshed. President Henry B. Eyring rededicated the temple on May 20, 2018.
