Open House for Temple in Oregon

The public open house will be held Thursday, April 23, through Saturday, May 9, excluding Sundays.

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will preside at the dedication, Sunday, June 7, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (Rebroadcast: 2:00 p.m.) The dedicatory session will be broadcast to all units in the Willamette Valley Oregon Temple district.

Oregon, located in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, is home to over 150,000 Latter-day Saints in nearly 300 congregations. The Willamette Valley Temple will be the third house of the Lord in the state. Operating temples are in Medford and Portland, Oregon.

The Willamette Valley Oregon Temple was announced by President Russell M. Nelson in April 2021.

“Temples are a vital part of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ in its fulness,” he said then. “Ordinances of the temple fill our lives with power and strength available in no other way. We thank God for those blessings.”
