Number of Church Members
- Worldwide, there are over 14 million members of the church, nearly the same as the number of Jews.
- In the United States the Church is the 4th largest individual denomination with over 5.5 million members, a population about equal to the number of Muslims.
- Only 12% of all church members live in Utah. Most do not live in North America.
- Aside from the United States, other regions with significant numbers of members include Mexico and Asia (1 million members each), South America (3 million members), and Central America and Europe (about half a million each). The rapid growth the Church has been experiencing in Africa, where the number of members already passes a quarter of a million, is particularly exciting.
- After Catholics, the Church of Jesus Christ is the largest religion by number in ten U.S. states. ()
