The Red Cliffs Utah Temple is a temple under construction of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in St. George, Utah. The intent to build the temple was announced by church president Russell M. Nelson during the October 2018 general conference of the church under the name Washington County Utah Temple.[3][4]
The location for the temple was announced in November 2019. Plans called for a three story temple of 90,000 square feet. A small groundbreaking for the temple took place a year later due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6] A church apostle, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, presided at the groundbreaking.[7][8][9] The temple is to become the 2nd temple of the church to be built in St. George and the 20th in Utah.
