St. George Utah Temple

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) has a temple in St. George, Utah, called the St. George Utah Temple (formerly known as the St. George Temple). It was the third temple built by the church when it was finished, but it was the first one built in Utah because members had moved west from Nauvoo, Illinois, after the death of the religion's founder, Joseph Smith. It is one of the best places to visit in Saint George's.

The structure is situated in St. George, a city in southwest Utah. It was created by Truman O. Angell and resembles the Nauvoo Temple more than the later temples of the church. The oldest temple still in use by the church is the St. George Temple. There are currently three ordinance chambers, 18 sealing rooms, and 110,000 square feet of floor space in the temple (10,200 m2). The first temple where church members could get all temple ordinances for their ancestors was the St. George Utah Temple.

After being expelled from their church in Illinois, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints headed west before settling in Utah. Although the church maintains a visitors' center that is accessible to the general public, church services are reserved for members only.
