NEW: Group Temple Appointments
We are pleased to announce that members in your temple district may now schedule group appointments for proxy sealings, endowments, and initiatory ordinances using the online system for temple appointments. This feature is especially helpful for family and friends wanting to attend the temple together.
What Is the Group Scheduling Process?
  1. When you schedule an appointment, check the box labeled "Additional people" and enter the number of male and female members you wish to invite.
  2. After you finalize the appointment, your appointment is confirmed for all seats.
  3. Instructions will be provided on how to invite other group members to confirm their seat. This step is not required.
Please Note: If guests choose to confirm their seats, the appointment will appear on their My Temple Appointment page and at the temple recommend desk allowing temple workers to better direct guests when they arrive.
Important Considerations
  • The online appointment system already allows members to schedule groups for proxy baptisms.
  • Maximum group sizes vary by temple based on capacity.
  • Group appointments will continue to be available by emailing or calling the temple.
