List of missions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

These are the names of the missions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Most missions are named after the location of the mission headquarters, usually a specific city. The geographical area a mission actually covers is often much larger than the name may indicate; most areas of the world are within the jurisdiction of a mission of the church.

In the list below, if the name of the mission does not include a specific city, the city where the mission headquarters is located is included in parentheses.

The last mission to be created was on 1 January 2017, with the creation of the Utah Salt Lake City Headquarters Mission,[1] bringing the total number of operating Church missions to 422. On 1 July 2017, the Russia Vladivostok Mission will merge with the Russia Novosibirsk Mission to bring the number down to 421.
