The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has called new mission leaders for 164 missions worldwide. These couples will begin their three-year service on or about July 1. Four couples will be announced later.
The Church News will profile new mission leadership couples in the coming weeks and months. The profiles will be linked below as they are published or can be found at thechurchnews.com/mission-leaders.
In late June, these new mission presidents and companions will gather in Provo, Utah, for the 2025 Seminar for New Mission Leaders. Church News will provide coverage of the seminar, available at thechurchnews.com/mission-leadership-seminar.
