President Christofferson Will Dedicate the Yorba Linda California Temple

President D. Todd Christofferson, Second Counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, will dedicate the Yorba Linda California Temple on Sunday, June 7, 2026. He will be accompanied by Elder Steven R. Bangerter, Executive Director of the Temple Department, and his wife, Susan; Elder I. Raymond Egbo and his wife, Comfort; and Elder Takashi Wada and his wife, Naomi.

The dedication ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. and will be broadcast to all congregations within the temple district.

The public has been invited to tour the sacred structure since April 30. The open house concludes on May 23.

The Yorba Linda Temple was announced by the late President Russell M. Nelson at the April 2021 general conference.

Ground was broken for the temple on June 18, 2022. The single-story temple of approximately 30,000 square feet is located at 17130 Bastanchury Rd in Yorba Linda.

Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints differ from meetinghouses or chapels, where members and friends of the Church meet for Sunday worship services. Each temple is considered a “house of the Lord,” where Jesus Christ’s teachings are reaffirmed so that families can be united for eternity. In the temple, Church members can seek peace and guidance, learn more about the purpose of life and make covenants to follow Jesus Christ and serve their fellow men and women.
