2025 Membership and Congregational Data Released by Region

The Church has published regional figures for membership and the total number of congregations by world region for 2025. The tables below summarize these data. Table 1 presents membership and congregation totals for 2024 and 2025 by world region. Table 2 provides percentage growth rates for membership and congregations in 2025, as well as the average number of members per congregation and the change in this metric from 2024 to 2025.

 Table 1

The Church has not yet published country-by-country data for 2025. However, data for individual U.S. states and the District of Columbia have been updated and are available through the state and district profiles on this page. The Church recently transitioned its facts and statistics page from the Newsroom website to ChurchofJesusChrist.org, and some data have not yet been fully integrated into the new platform. I will provide analysis of these numbers once the country-specific data are released.

Congregational growth outpacing membership growth in Asia is astounding. That, along with the drop in members per unit, is very encouraging. I'm assuming this is thanks to the Philippines, but I will be interested to see what the country-by-country statistics look like in the future. 10% congregational growth in Africa is also incredible. Has that ever happened before? Thanks for the post as always, Matt.
