Possible next temple in each county in Utah

Updated after April 2025 General Conference Beaver County Temples: None (Cedar City Temple District) Stakes: 2 Possible first temple: Beaver Commentary: Once the church is more comfortable with small, part-time temples in rural Utah, Beaver will get a temple Box Elder County Temple: Brigham City Utah Temple Stakes: 11 Possible next temple: Willard or Perry Other possibilities: Tremonton Doesn't seem likely in the near future. Growth in Box Elder County will be in the areas south of Brigham City, hence Willard or Perry. Cache County Temples: Logan, Smithfield Stakes: 38 Possible next temple: Nibley/Hyrum Eventually: North Logan, Providence, Wellsville Possible in the near future.  Growth in the Cache Valley will be south of Logan.  The driver for population growth in Cache Valley is proximity to the Wasatch Front.  The Hyrum, Nibley, College Ward area seems to be where future growth will be. Carbon County Temples: Price (Announced) Stakes: 4 Possible next temple: None...

What defines a ward?

The standards for beginning a new ward a very clear.  In the US and Canada, 300 people are required.  Outside of the US and Canada, it is only 150.  There must be enough temple-recommend holding men to be able to staff the bishopric and other organizations. But with recent changes in the church, and in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, could this standard change? My hunch is, that for most of the church, it will not.  In my stake, there are six wards, and I do not see that changing even with fewer callings needed.  But in smaller cities and towns, I can see that some places will see branches become wards.  All you need now are enough active men to form an effective Elder's quorum and enough active women to form a functioning Relief Society.   I would say north of 20 in each case.  40-50 adults could constitute a ward in many cases.  In some cases, the church could even wave the requirement that a Bishop live within the ward, as long...
