The Rexburg Idaho Temple is the 125th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The intent to build the temple was announced by the First Presidency on December 12, 2003, in a letter to local church leaders. The temple was the third in Idaho, and the first in the state in the 21st century.
The temple has a single attached end spire with a statue of the angel Moroni. This temple was designed by Bob Petroff and Architectural Nexus, using a classic modern style. A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on July 30, 2005, conducted by John H. Groberg.
