I have received a credible report that the Church appeared to baptize 380,000-390,000 convert baptisms in 2025. If accurate, this would surpass the previous all-time high of 330,877 converts baptized in 1990 by approximately 50,000-60,000 people. Additionally, the combined total of convert baptisms and children of record added to Church membership appears to have reached around half a million in 2025, which would represent another all-time high. With approximately 90,000-140,000 records removed annually, the net increase in membership is likely closer to 400,000 given these unofficial reports.
Official statistics will be released in General Conference next month.

I always thought it would be awesome to hit 20 million members at the 200th anniversary of the church in April of 2030. At 17.5 million at the end of 2024 and only increasing 250k a year it seemed that it would be out of reach and take until 2035 to hit it.
If we were to get 400k for 2025 and it is any sort of exponential, we could absolutely push to getting 20 million by April of 2030. Will still be a stretch, but much more doable. Would need to average 488k a year for the following 4 years and 3 months to hit it.
How much is that as a per capita of the world population?
Then this would put total church membership over 18 million by now.

An interesting fact, the Jerusalem District has a conference planned for May 1st and 2nd, 2026. Obviously, with only 3 branches, it's not becoming a stake. But maybe a GA visit. Or their regular 6 month conference.
