The Bountiful Utah Temple

of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Each of the other modern Utah temples, Ogden, Provo, and Jordan River were built to relieve overcrowding at other, older temples. The Bountiful and Mt. Timpanogos Temples were no exception. The Bountiful Temple was built to relive overcrowding at the Salt Lake and Ogden Temples. It is the second temple, after Jordan River to have a temple district smaller than a county.

The large circular windows feature stained glass sunbursts based on Native American designs, a motif that is found throughout the temple.

The temple was announced on 28 May 1988.
Ground was broken and construction begun on 2 May 1992.
The cornerstone was laid and the temple dedicated on 8-14 January 1995.
There are 8 Sealing rooms and 4 Ordinance rooms in the 104,000 square foot temple.
The spire is 175 feet tall.
The Bountiful Temple serves stakes in central and south Davis County, Utah.
