Individuals who need to schedule a temple recommend interview should follow this process:

• Contact your Ward Executive Secretary and schedule your interview with your Bishop.  All temple recommends regardless of the type or purpose must be initiated by a Bishop.  Please read the following instructions carefully to determine which type of recommend interview you will require.

• Once that interview has been completed, an interview with a member of the Stake Presidency can be arranged.  All new ordinance recommends are now digital and require that the candidate have a current / valid photo on their LDSTools or Membership Profile at ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

• The Stake Presidency conducts temple recommend Renewal interviews and Ecclesiastical Endorsement interviews every Tuesday night from 6-7 pm at the Stake Center / Red Mountain Institute building. No appointments are required and these interviews are conducted on a first-come-first-served basis. If that time slot does not accommodate your schedule, you can text either President Marsh or President Kolb and they can arrange for a special time to meet with you when it's mutually convenient. Make sure that your Bishopric member prints your recommend form and that you bring it to the interview with a Stake Presidency member.  If you are switching to a "mobile recommend", be sure you bring your mobile device with you to the interview and that you have a current / valid photo on their LDSTools or Membership Profile at ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

• Appointments are required and must be made for all Own Endowment and Sealing Recommends. Please contact the Stake Executive Secretary, Bro. Preston Cameron 2-3 weeks in advance of the date that your Recommend is needed by the Temple for these interviews with President Hofeling.  Please note that the Temple may require a copy of your completed living ordinance recommend 2-3 weeks before your planned ordinance date at the Temple.   All new ordinance recommends are now digital and require that the candidate have a current / valid photo on their LDSTools or Membership Profile at ChurchofJesusChrist.org.  

• Contact information for the Stake Presidency including the Stake Executive Secretary can be found on LDSTools ( https://id.churchofjesuschrist.org ).
