GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (ABC4) — President Jeffrey R. Holland of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other leaders were on hand to dedicate the newest LDS temple in Grand Junction.

Holland, President of the Quorum of The Twelve Apostles, officially dedicated the third operating temple in Colorado, behind the Denver Temple, dedicated in 1986, and the Fort Collins Temple, dedicated in 2016. Former President Russell M. Nelson announced the Colorado Springs Temple in 2023, which is currently in the planning and design phase.

Holland spoke during the dedication ceremony, saying that in a time of division, hostility and dishonesty, the temple is a place of instruction, peace, cleanliness and divine covenants, "a world as close to God's world as we can find in mortality."
