Congregation growth statistics. In 2023 there was a large increase in Africa, and decline in Europe and North America

At the end of 2024, the LDS Church had 31,676 congregations and a reported membership of 17,509,781.[3]

Membership defined

The LDS Church defines membership as a count of living individuals who:[4]

  1. have been baptized and confirmed.
  2. are under age nine and have been blessed but not baptized.
  3. are not accountable because of intellectual disabilities, regardless of age.
  4. are unblessed children under age eight when:
    • two member parents request it; or
    • one member parent requests it and the nonmember parent gives permission.

After baptism, blessing, or parental request stated above, membership must be recorded and maintained by the church to have and keep membership.[5] As with many religious organizations, official membership figures reflect individuals on record rather than measures of belief, participation, or self-identification as captured in surveys or census data.

Membership considerations

In 2005, Peggy Fletcher Stack, longtime religion columnist for The Salt Lake Tribune, estimated that about one-third of the reported LDS membership was "active" (i.e., regularly attending church services and participating in other expected meetings and obligations).[6] As with many religious organizations, official membership figures do not necessarily correspond to regular participation or self-identified affiliation. In 2005, this would have amounted to approximately 4 million active members among a worldwide LDS population of 12 million. Active membership varied from a high of 40 to 50 percent in congregations in North America and the Pacific Islands, to a low of about 25 percent in Latin America. Fletcher Stack's data was compiled from several sources, including a 2001 survey of religious affiliation by scholars at City University of New York and a demographer at LDS-owned Brigham Young University.

In 2003, church leader Dallin H. Oaks, noted that among recent converts "attrition is sharpest in the two months after baptism" [7] He emphasized the importance of fellowshipping, integration into congregational life, and ongoing support for new members, and also discussed challenges such as overcoming prior habits addressed by the Word of Wisdom. In 2001, sociologist Armand Mauss estimated that about 50 percent of LDS converts in the US stopped attending church within a year of baptism, while outside the US the rate was about 70 percent.[8]

Countries

The tables on this section represents Latter-day Saint membership, as reported by the Church, as of December 31, 2025.[9] Except where indicated, general population figures are based on population estimates (primarily for 2025). Percentages of LDS members were calculated with this information. The link under the names of each country, territory, etc. corresponds to brief LDS history and statistical information for that particular area.
