The temple will have four 30-seat ordinance rooms, three sealing rooms, and one baptismal font.

The Ephraim Utah Temple will serve more than 31,000 Latter-day Saints in Sanpete, Carbon, and Emery counties. This includes Latter-day Saint students who attend nearby Snow College. An existing meetinghouse for young single adults will be adjacent to the temple.

President Russell M. Nelson said the new house of the Lord will be an important addition for the Church's growing membership in the area — including students at Snow College. He said, "We care about their well-being and their future." The current estimation is that the Ephraim Utah Temple will be the 226th temple in the Church.
