How many LDS churches are there in the salt lake valley?

Answer 1

This depends on if by 'church' you mean meetinghouse buildings or congregations. The number of both is changing on almost a weekly basis as new buildings are being built and new congregations are being formed, but we can get a good estimate this way:

There are 170 stakes in the Salt Lake Valley (by adding up the stakes in the Salt Lake, Jordan River, Draper, and Oquirrh Mountain Temple districts). A stake in the Salt Lake Valley generally has 3 buildings with 3 congregations meeting in each building.

Most stakes have 3 buildings, some have 2 and some have 4. So if by churches you mean buildings, 170 stakes x 3 buildings each is 510 church buildings. Most stakes have 9 congregations, some have as few as 7 while others have as many as 12. So if by churches you mean congregations, 170 stakes x 9 congregations each is 1530 LDS congregations. So, in the Salt Lake Valley, there are 170 Stakes, approximately 510 church buildings, and approximately 1530 congregations. If you need an official count, you can contact the Church through the contact information provided in the "Related Link" found below.

Answer 2

There are approximately 4,750 congregations of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") in the state of Utah. Because of the large number of congregations, most congregations share a church building with two or three other congregations. In addition, there are 13 temples in operation in Utah and one more being planned.

Answer 3

As of January 2013, there were 4,870 congregations of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) in Utah. Because most LDS chapels in Utah are shared by 3 congregations, we can estimate that there are approximately 1,624 LDS chapels in Utah.

The Church builds several hundred new chapels around the world each year, and growing congregations are often split, so even if we could count each individual chapel in Utah, that number wouldn't remain accurate for long.

Answer 4

There are about 5,000 (4,971 reported at year end 2014) congregations of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) in Utah. However, because of the large number of congregations, most of them share a church building. This is obviously a very smart money saving practice that saves the Church millions of dollars! For almost every Mormon church building you see in Utah, three congregations will share that building by staggering their Sunday services and holding weeknight activities on different days. Some regular-sized buildings will even host four congregations. Special double-chapel buildings have been built in areas of Utah with very high Mormon populations that can host 6-8 congregations. So, while there are 5,000 Mormon congregations, there are perhaps 2,000 Mormon churches in Utah.

Answer 5

As of December 1, 2015, there are 5,025 congregations of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the LDS or "Mormon" church) in the state of Utah. Congregations are added, eliminated, or reorganized fairly often as new housing or changing neighborhood Demographics create the need for reorganization so the number of congregations changes several times a year. However, most of these congregations do not have their own building - it is standard in Utah for one LDS church building to be shared by three congregations in order to keep costs down.

So, if you are asking how many LDS congregations are in Utah - 5,025.
If you are asking how many LDS church meetinghouses are in Utah, probably around 2,000.
