President Dallin H. Oaks of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints dedicated the Burley Idaho Temple on Sunday, January 11, 2025—his first temple dedication as Church president.
“We dedicate and consecrate unto Thee and Thy Beloved Son this Burley Idaho Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” President Oaks prayed. “We invoke Thy power to assure that Thy Spirit and Thy glory will always be present here and upon all Thy sacred work that will be done here.”
Latter-day Saints consider each temple a house of the Lord and the most sacred place of worship on earth. Church members participate in sacred ceremonies such as marriages, which unite families forever, and proxy baptisms on behalf of deceased ancestors who did not have the opportunity to be baptized while living.
