In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), an '''area''' is an administrative unit that typically is composed of multiple stakes and missions. These areas are the primary church administrative unit between individual stakes or missions and the church as a whole.

==History== The areas as they now exist were formed in January 1984.<ref>Allen, James B. and Glen M. Leonard. ''The Story of the Latter-day Saints'' 2nd Edition, p. 654.</ref> Prior to that time, general authorities served as "area supervisors" and at times resided outside of Salt Lake City.<ref>{{cite journal | last = Mehr | first = Kahlile | title = Area Supervision: Administration of the Worldwide Church, 1960-2002 | journal = Journal of Mormon History | date = Spring 2001 | volume = 27 | issue = 1 | pages = 192–214 | url = http://content.lib.utah.edu/u?/jmh,17512}}</ref> In 1984, 13 initial areas were created; by 1992 there were 22, and by early 2007 there were 31. As of August 2025, there are 24 areas, 6 in the United States, and 18 worldwide, including the new Canada Area.<ref name=":0">[https://news-za.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/africa-southeast-area-to-be-divided-into-two-areas Africa Southeast Area to be Divided into Two Areas], ''South African Newsroom'', 28 June 2019.

==Administration== Until 2003, each area had a president and two counselors, all of whom were typically general authorities (area seventies sometimes served as counselors). This three-man body was known as the ''area presidency''. In that year, the church eliminated these presidencies for areas located in the United States and Canada, which were all then placed under the direct supervision of a member of the Presidency of the Seventy, thus freeing more general authorities from specific area assignments. Since these areas were previously administered by area presidencies located at church headquarters in Salt Lake City, the administrative change was not as drastic as it might seem.

In April 2018, the church announced that, effective August 1 of that year, areas in the United States and Canada would once again be supervised by a three-man presidency. This enabled the Presidency of the Seventy to more fully assist the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in their duties, and to fill other assignments as needed.<ref>[https://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/2018-area-presidency-assignments First Presidency Announces 2018 Area Leadership Assignments], ''Mormon Newsroom'', 5 April 2018. Retrieved 8 April 2018.</ref>

The areas outside the United States continue to be governed by area presidencies that are typically composed of general authority seventies and/or area seventies. These presidency members usually reside in a headquarters city located in the geographic boundaries of the area. Area seventies who serve in these presidencies reside in their own homes, which may or may not be in the area headquarters city.

In 2019, church leaders stated that the 10 North American areas would be merged into six (the Idaho Area merged into the North America Central Area; the North America Northwest Area merged into the North America West Area; and the Utah North, Utah Salt Lake City, and Utah South areas merged into a single Utah Area.<ref name="Aug 2019 changes" >[https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/church/news/first-presidency-announces-2019-area-leadership-assignments?lang=eng&_r=1 First Presidency Announces 2019 Area Leadership Assignments], churchofjesuschrist.org, 26 April 2019. Retrieved 5 May 2019.</ref>

Also in 2019, a structural change occurred in the administration of the Middle East/Africa North Area. In prior years, two general authorities based at church headquarters were assigned oversight for the area. However, beginning in August 2019, a three-man area presidency was established to oversee the area. Two of them were general authorities at church headquarters, while the second counselor was an area seventy living in the area.

In 2019, church leaders also announced the division of the Africa Southeast Area, into the Africa Central and Africa South areas, effective August 1, 2020.<ref name=":0" /> Two months later, W. Christopher Waddell, second counselor in the Presiding Bishopric, announced in Johannesburg that the new Africa Central Area would be headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya.<ref>[https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/nairobi--kenya--to-be-church-africa-central-area-office Nairobi, Kenya, to be Church Africa Central Area Office], ''Newsroom'', churchofjesuschrist.org, 20 August 2019. Retrieved 9 April 2022.</ref>

Then in 2022, additional structural changes affected Europe. The Europe and Europe East areas were split into 3 areas and renamed the Europe Central, Europe East, and Europe North areas. The presidency of the Europe Area became the presidency of the Europe Central Area, with the presidency of the Europe East Area becoming three area seventies. The president and first counselor in the Europe East Area were reassigned to fill the same roles in the Europe North Area, with the second counselor being an area seventy. The area seventy who had been serving as the second counselor in the Europe East Area was designated an assistant to the Europe North Area presidency, specifically overseeing Ukraine and Moldova, which will be separate from a specific area at the current time.<ref>[https://www.thechurchnews.com/leaders-and-ministry/2022-04-07/first-presidency-announces-2022-2023-area-leadership-assignments-249875 First Presidency announces 2022-2023 area leadership assignments], ''Church News'', 7 April 2022. Retrieved 8 April 2022.</ref>

Then, in early December 2024, the First Presidency created a new Canada Area.<ref name=":1" /> Subsequently, in mid-April 2025, in conjunction with the announcement of the first Canada Area presidency, it was announced that the area headquarters would be in Calgary, Alberta, with some area functions managed in Toronto, Ontario.<ref>[https://news-ca.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/new-canada-area-presidency-announced New Canada Area Presidency Announced], ''Canada Newsroom'', churchofjesuschrist.org. 17 April 2025.

As of August 2025, the church has 18 areas outside and 6 areas inside the United States, for a total of 24 areas. With the changes in the Europe Areas, the church now has five area seventies serving in area presidencies. Area assignments are generally announced sometime after April's general conference and are effective August 1.<ref>Historically, the assignments were effective on August 15, but August 1 has been the effective date since 2007{{citation needed|date=June 2025}}.</ref>
