The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Venezuela


The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Venezuela reported 166,688 members in 34 stakes and five districts, 231 Congregations, four missions, and one temple, as of December 31, 2018.

History

The first congregation was organized in November 1966, by Marion G. Romney.
On March 17, 2014, the LDS Church announced it would be removing the 152 missionaries in Venezuela and sending them to other missions in South America, the church announced Monday, due to political unrest. In February and March, riot police have clashed with anti-government demonstrators, with more than two dozen people killed.
In 2020, the LDS Church canceled services and other public gatherings indefinitely in response to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
