The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Tuesday invited people around the world to participate in the 2027 Salt Lake Temple Celebration, announcing the event’s theme, “Rejoice in Christ,” and opening reservations for tours of the renovated Salt Lake Temple.
Church leaders, community representatives, and guests gathered at the new West Temple Entrance Building on Temple Square on Tuesday morning for a media event focused on the celebration, its worldwide reach, and the multiple opportunities to participate in person and online.
The theme, “Rejoice in Christ,” reflects the purpose of both the temple and the celebration. Church leaders said the six-month celebration (April 5–October 1, 2027) will center on Jesus Christ and invite visitors to learn more about His teachings, His gospel, and His role in God’s plan for His children. ...
Members of the Salt Lake Temple Executive Committee present for Tuesday’s announcement included President Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Elders Quentin L. Cook and Neil L. Andersen of that quorum, and Relief Society General President Camille N. Johnson.
They emphasized that the Salt Lake Temple celebration is a global event for everyone, regardless of faith tradition or background. Whether guests are longtime friends of the Church, first-time visitors to Temple Square, or participating virtually from other parts of the world, all are invited to experience the temple and its message of faith, hope, and belonging.
