Almost four months after it was announced, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints revealed the location of the Yorba Linda California Temple Thursday.
The Yorba Linda California Temple was one of 20 announced by President Russell M. Nelson during the April 2021 general conference.
Where will the Yorba Linda Temple be located?
The new temple will be constructed on a 5.4-acre site at the intersection of Bastanchury Road and Osmond Street in Yorba Linda. The single-story structure will cover approximately 30,000 square feet, according to a news release.
The church has not scheduled a groundbreaking date or released an exterior rendering as detailed design plans for the temple are still under development. Project leaders will soon work with local officials on preliminary plans.
How many Latter-day Saints live in California?
More than 21,000 Latter-day Saints reside in the Yorba Linda temple district. California is home to over 750,000 church members who attend more than 1,200 congregations, according to ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
