The Church reports that in the past 12 months—from June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2025—convert baptisms were the highest of any 12-month period in Church history. At the recent Seminar for New Mission Leaders, Elder Quentin L. Cook reported that in 2024, 308,000 people joined the Church.

And that increase is not just in certain areas of the Church. Every region of the world saw at least a 20% increase in convert baptisms in the first quarter of 2025 compared with the same period in 2024.

It is also interesting to note that in the United States in general, the previous decline in those who identify as Christians appears to be leveling off and faith is regaining followers.

Elder Cook also noted that new members of the Church are attending weekly worship services at higher rates. And he said that efforts to reengage and teach people who were previously taught led to nearly 40,000 of the past year’s baptisms—a number that has seen growth in recent years thanks to technological advances.

The Church currently has more members (17.5 million), missionaries (80,000), congregations (31,670), missions (450), and temples (382) than it has ever had. The Church is engaged in more humanitarian projects than ever (including $1.45 billion in expenditures in 2024 alone). And the Church continues to connect the global human family through the free genealogical services of FamilySearch, which now has more than 20 billion searchable names and images in its archives.

There is also a rising number of young adults participating. The highest percentage ever in the history of the Church are attending seminary and institute.
