Statistical Report 2007

Here's the Statistical Report for 2007

• Stakes - 2,790
• Church units (congregations) - 27,827
• Districts - 618
• Membership - 13,193,999
• Missions - 348
• Increase of children on record - 93,698
• Converts baptized - 279,218
• Missionaries - 52,686

There are a few things which really surprised me. For example, the number of missionaries fell from 53,164 to 52,686. The number of missionaries has been slowly increasing in recent years, after a major fall from 61,000 around six years ago. I predicted more units, increase of children on record and converts baptized than there were. However, the overall trend has been positive. 7,000 more converts were baptized in 2007 than in 2006, and membership increased by almost 20,000 more than it did in 2006. The percent growth rate for the Church in 2007 was 2.53% for membership and 1.26% for units.
