The Sacramento California Temple is the 123rd operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The intent to build the temple was announced in a news release by the First Presidency on April 21, 2001. The temple was the seventh built by the church in California, more than any state except Utah. The Sacramento California Temple serves a membership which totals approximately 80,000 in the area.
The temple has a single attached end spire with a statue of the angel Moroni. The temple was designed by Brian Everett and Maury Maher of Nichols, Melburg & Rossetto. A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on August 22, 2004, conducted by Hinckley.
