Stake Temple Interview Schedule

Stake temple recommend renewal interviews will now be every Sunday from 11:30-1:00pm at the stake offices in the McBean building. When presidents Reeve and Eav will be in the Peachland building, they will try to give advance notice to the Bishopric and the Bishopric Will then reach out to those needing a stake interview, for convenience.

Temple Recommend Interviews

If you are a youth (ages 11-18) looking for a limited use recommend so you can do baptisms, contact Bishop Miles DelHoyo (661) 755-2636. Others in need of a temple recommend renewal, please contact the Peachland Bishopric for an interview: Garrett Snow (805) 340-3416 or Jeff Hill (661) 313-5454 Wondering what the temple recommend questions are? Click here or scroll to the bottom of this post. Electronic Temple Recommend Format A new Electronic Temple Recommend is being piloted in Southern California! This means you’ll be able to scan your recommend from the LDS Tools app on your phone at the temple–instead of using a paper recommend. This must be activated by the bishopric first. To activate, please follow the steps below. 1. Contact Norris Whitmore or Andrew Fischer (text please) and ask for your recommend format to be changed to the mobile format. 3. Go into Tools and either sync/refresh the data on the app or remove and reinstall the app (some have worked one way and some have worked the other).  3. Then “Agree” to activate the recommend on their app, after which the recommend will be active on their phone.
