The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints congregation celebrated the dedication and groundbreaking of its Knoxville Tennessee Temple Saturday afternoon, Jan. 27.

Before ground was broken, church members plus local, state and federal government officials gathered at Knoxville Tennessee Stake Center, 11837 Grigsby Chapel Road in Farragut, for a dedication ceremony before a select few attended the groundbreaking.
