This is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' own 2025 Statistical Report, read at General Conference in April 2026 and published through its Newsroom, giving the church's official membership, congregation and unit counts as of December 31, 2025 (total membership 17,887,212). As the church's own annual return it is authoritative for what the church itself counts and reports, in the categories it defines. Its limit is the same as every prior year's report: it is not an independent demographic study, recorded membership includes everyone baptized or blessed as a child who has not been formally removed from the rolls, whether or not they remain active or self-identify as Latter-day Saint today, so it can exceed counts from independent census or survey self-identification, and a claim about active or practicing membership needs a source outside the church's own statistical return. Supersedes the 2024 Statistical Report as the current figure; that report is not wrong, it is the prior year's true count.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' own 2025 Statistical Report, published through its Newsroom and read at General Conference in April 2026, the top tier reflecting the church's own authoritative annual return of its membership, congregation and unit counts. Its limit is that recorded membership includes everyone baptized or blessed as a child who has not been formally removed from the rolls, whether or not they remain active, so a claim about active or practicing membership needs a source outside the church's own statistical return.
