FARMINGTON – The First Presidency has announced the open house and dedication dates for the Farmington New Mexico Temple.

A public open house will run July 17 to Aug. 2, 2025, excluding Sundays.

Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will dedicate the temple in one session on Sunday, Aug. 17, 2025. The dedicatory session will be broadcast to all units in the temple district.

Church President Russell M. Nelson announced the Farmington New Mexico Temple during the April 2021 general conference.

It will be the second temple in the state, joining the Albuquerque New Mexico Temple.

In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, Latter-day Saint communities in Farmington developed projects to produce the necessities of life for people in need, including constructing a storehouse, operating a large farm, and planting tomatoes, beans, corn and wheat. Since then, the diverse congregations of Latter-day Saints in New Mexico have worked to serve the needy and people experiencing poverty in their communities. More than 69,000 Latter-day Saints in nearly 140 congregations call New Mexico home today.
