The Rexburg, Idaho Temple is located adjacent to the Brigham Young University–Idaho campus. Located on a hilltop, this structure is visible from several miles away. As noted by Rick Satterfield, “It is the finest, most notable building in this rural community.” West of the temple lies a beautiful garden and walking plaza available for quiet strolls or moments of reflection.
“Temples are literally houses of the Lord. They are holy places of worship where individuals make sacred covenants with God. Because making covenants with God is such a solemn responsibility, individuals cannot enter the temple to receive their endowments or be sealed in marriage for eternity until they have fully prepared themselves and been members of the Church for at least a year. Throughout history, the Lord has commanded His people to build temples. The Church is working to build temples all over the world to make temple blessings more available for a greater number of Heavenly Father's children.” - www.lds.org
