According to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons), in 2014, the membership is 15,372,337. The number listed is world-wide participation. LDS.org is the primary source for information about the LDS Church, which is also known as the "Mormon" Church, and formally as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Church growth has slowed over the last few years due to distortions about the Church on the internet. One key distortion is that the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. had more than one wife.

∙ 14y agoAs of December 2008, there are 13,508,509 baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) worldwide.
However, many of this number, although baptized, do not actively practice the religion. While no statistics are kept on how many active members there are, we can come up with a rough estimate based on how many congregations of the Church there are.
Worldwide, there are 20,555 wards (large congregations) and 7,798 branches (small congregations) of the Church. Most wards will have between 150 to 400 active members, while branches generally have less than 150.
Doing the math
20,555 wards x ~300 members each = 6,166,500 active members
7,798 branches x ~150 members each = 1,169,700 active members
= approximately 7,336,200 active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worldwide.
Similar to the Roman Catholic Church, once someone is baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they will always be considered as 'members' of the Church although they may stop attending worship services regularly. Those who have been baptized may have their names removed from the official list of Church members by contacting Church leaders, although most choose to not go through the effort.
