UPDATED: The 10 Countries with the Most Members without a Temple Announced, Under Construction, or in Operation - April 2026

I have updated the list of the countries with the most members without a temple (planned or dedicated) using year-end 2025 membership totals. Temples that service stakes, districts, and mission branches in each country are identified. Statistics for the number of stakes, districts, and congregations are current. Previous lists are also available for April 2025, April 2024, May 2023, April 2022, March 2022, November 2020, April 2020, April 2019, October 2018, April 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2013, mid-2011, late 2008, and late 2007. Countries in Italics do not have a stake. Tanzania has since ascended to the list to replace Belize and is the country on the list with the most congregations without a temple. Benin is the country on the list with the most recent Church establishment (first branch in 2005). Countries that may ascend to this list in the coming months and years include (in order of probability) Botswana, Rwanda, Cameroon, Armenia, Trinidad and Tobago, Albania, Romania, the Czech Republic, and Ethiopia.
