REXBURG – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints officially broke ground on its second temple in Rexburg Saturday morning.
The three-story, 100,000-square-foot Teton River Temple will be built on a 16.6 acre parcel at North Second East and Moody Drive across the street from Walmart, just over three miles from the Rexburg Temple that was dedicated in 2008.
Elder Ricardo P. Giménez, a General Authority Seventy and second counselor in the North America Central Area presidency, presided over the ceremony with hundreds of church members in attendance.
“Our hearts are filled with joy and reverence as we gather to commemorate the monumental occasion of a second temple being erected in this special land of Rexburg, Idaho,” Gimenez said during a dedicatory prayer.
The 52-year-old from Chile, South America blessed the site during the temple’s construction that it would be “protected and hallowed” and that every person who plays a role in its completion would feel inspired and guided in their responsibilities.
