The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints membership statistics is membership, congregational, and related information released by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) as well other applicable statistical information concerning the worldwide church. The latest membership information LDS Church releases includes a count of membership, stakes, wards, branches, missions, temples, and family history centers for the worldwide church and for individual countries and territories where the church is recognized. The latest information released was as of December 31, 2021 for the worldwide church, and December 31, 2019 for individual countries and selected territories.

At the end of 2021, the LDS Church had 31,315 congregations and a reported membership of 16,805,400.[1]

Membership defined

The LDS Church defines membership as a count of living individuals who:[3]

have been baptized and confirmed.
under age nine who have been blessed but not baptized.
are not accountable because of intellectual disabilities, regardless of age.
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.[4]

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).[5] 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", which he attributed in part to difficulties adapting to the church's dietary code, the Word of Wisdom, that prohibits the use of alcohol, tobacco, coffee, and tea.[6] 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.[7]
