The Star Valley Wyoming Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) under construction in Star Valley, Wyoming.[1] Star Valley is in Lincoln County which has the highest percentage of Latter-day Saints in Wyoming. The intent to build the temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on October 1, 2011.[1] The temple was announced concurrently with the Barranquilla Colombia, Durban South Africa, Kinshasa Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Provo City Center temples.[1] When announced, the total number of temples worldwide increased to 166. This will be the first temple built in Wyoming.
The temple will be located east of U.S. highway 89 south of Afton, Wyoming.[3] Craig C. Christensen presided at the temple's groundbreaking on April 25, 2015.[4] On March 25, 2016, the LDS Church announced that a public open house will be held from Friday, September 23, 2016 through Saturday, October 8, 2016, excluding the evening of Saturday, September 24, and all of Saturday, October 1 and Sundays. The temple will be dedicated on Sunday, October 30, 2016.[5]
