Key Facts and Figures for the Church in Singapore

The Church in Singapore has more than 3,300 members organized into 11units, or congregations, forming one stake.  A stake represents a geographical area, similar to a diocese.  Wards are lead by a bishop who calls and organizes the leadership of each ward.  Branches are lead by a branch president.  Wards and branches meet individually on most Sundays.  Every 6 months a Stake Conference is held in which all of the units meet together and receive instruction from the stake president and area authorities.
