Manti Utah Temple

The Manti Utah Temple (formerly the Manti Temple) is the fifth temple built by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Construction of the temple was completed in 1888. Located in the city of Manti, Utah, it was the third built west of the Mississippi River, following the Utah temples in St

. George and Logan. The temple was designed by William Harrison Folsom, who relocated to Manti during its construction. Built on what is known as “Temple Hill,” it overlooks the Sanpete Valley and is visible from a considerable distance, serving as a prominent landmark in the region. Constructed largely through the labor and resources of early Latter-day Saint settlers, the temple used pioneer-era craftsmanship and community effort from the Sanpete Valley. Like all Latter-day Saint temples, entry is available only to church members who hold a valid temple recommend. For many years, it was one of only two remaining temples in the church where a live portrayal was used in the endowment ceremony. Following its 2024 rededication, the temple now uses a filmed presentation. The building is an early example of a temple design using progressive ordinance rooms to represent stages of spiritual progression.
