The Newport Beach California Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in Newport Beach, California. The intent to build the temple was announced on April 21, 2001, by the church's First Presidency.[1] The temple is the sixth in California.[2]
The temple has a single attached tower with a statue of the angel Moroni.[3] The temple was designed by Lloyd E. Platt Associates, Ralph Martin, and RNM Architects Planners, using a Southern California traditional architectural style.[4] A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on August 15, 2003, conducted by Duane B. Gerrard, a church general authority.[5]
