Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple

Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple, Mormon temple in South Jordan, United States.

The Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple is a Latter-day Saint temple on an 11-acre bluff at the edge of the Daybreak Community in South Jordan. Its light beige granite exterior, quarried and milled in China, rises to a single stone spire 193 feet high topped by a 9-foot statue of the angel Moroni. Inside are four instruction rooms, six sealing rooms, a celestial room, a bride's room and a baptistry; the celestial room holds a 15-foot chandelier with 19,447 crystals.

Announced by church president Gordon B. Hinckley at general conference on October 1, 2005, the temple was first called the South Jordan Utah Temple; the new name was announced at the December 16, 2006 groundbreaking, also led by Hinckley. Thomas S. Monson dedicated it on August 21, 2009, in nine sessions through August 23, after a public open house that drew almost 590,000 visitors. It closed temporarily in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The name comes from the Goshute word for "shining mountains" or "wooded mountain," referring to the range to the west. The temple is not used for Sunday worship; after dedication only members holding a current temple recommend may enter. Its 2009 open house drew almost 590,000 visitors.

The temple stands on a bluff at the edge of the Daybreak Community in South Jordan, with the Oquirrh Mountains to the west and views east toward the Wasatch Range. It is not used for Sunday worship, and after dedication only members holding a current temple recommend may enter. The grounds are best seen during daylight hours.

The 9-foot angel Moroni statue was struck by lightning on June 13, 2009, during a thunderstorm, tarnishing it; it was replaced on August 11, 2009, ten days before the dedication. The spire itself is 193 feet high, and the temple's celestial room holds a 15-foot chandelier with 19,447 crystals.
