The Ephraim Utah Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was dedicated on Oct. 11 by Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Elder Rasband’s great-great-grandparents settled in Ephraim in 1850 and his great-grandfather later helped build the Manti Utah Temple. In an interview before the dedication, Elder Rasband shared, the temple will give Snow College students opportunities to participate in the gathering of Israel. The late President Russell M. Nelson announced the Ephraim temple on May 1, 2021. Utah now has 32 temples operating, under construction, announced or undergoing renovation.
