The Church has more than 84,000 full-time teaching missionaries serving in 451 missions in 150 countries worldwide. Thousands of young and senior service missionaries also serve in various capacities.

In July, the Church will open 55 new missions to accommodate a growing number of missionaries already called. The addition will bring the total number of missions to 506 and allow missionaries to better support the growing number of congregations worldwide.

In the October 2025 general conference, Elder Quentin L. Cook reported “a remarkable increase in converts and convert participation.” Nearly 900,000 converts joined the Church in the past three years, he said, constituting nearly 5% of the total Church membership. Conversions in the first half of 2025 also rose by more than 20% over 2024 in Europe, Africa, Asia, the Pacific and Latin America, and 17% in North America.
