PAYSON — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will build a new temple in Payson. Church President Thomas S. Monson made the announcement Monday.
It will be built near 930 West and 1550 South, about a mile from the 800 South I-15 interchange.
The new temple will be built to help meet the needs of the growing Church membership in the area. The Church says it will also ease the heavy use of the Provo Temple, which is one of the busiest in the Church.
“Temples answer those soul-searching questions of the purpose of life, of why we are here and where we are going. They are sanctuaries from the storms of life and bless the lives of members of the Church who worship within their sacred walls,” said President Monson.
According to the Church's website, there are 152 temples worldwide in operation or in the planning and construction phases.
