The exterior is finished with Asa branca granite from the Brazilian state of Ceara, and a single spire rises, crowned by a gold statue of the angel Moroni. Inside, the 37,200-square-foot temple houses two ordinance rooms and three sealing rooms.President Gordon B. Hinckley presided over the groundbreaking in 1996 and dedicated the temple in 2000. He noted the site's visibility near a highway and the beauty of the existing trees as key factors in its selection. The temple not only serves as a place of worship but also as a community hub, offering patron housing and a distribution center. While there is no dedicated visitor's center, the temple welcomes those who wish to find peace and connect with their spirituality.
