As of January 1, 2011, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reported 77,948 members in 15 stakes,〔(Georgia Stakes ).LDS Stake & Ward Web Sites. List of Stakes in Georgia.〕 151 congregations (112 wards〔(LDS Meetinghouse Locator ).Nearby Congregations (Wards and Branches).〕 and 39 branches〔), three missions, and one temple in Georgia.〔(LDS Newsroom (Statistical Information) )〕 ==History== In 1843, missionary work was briefly opened in Georgia by Elder John U. Eldredge. Other missionaries followed to preach and to campaign for Joseph Smith in his presidential bid. The campaign ceased in 1844 with the death of Joseph Smith, and missionary work halted in 1846.〔Jenson, Andrew. (Encyclopedic History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ). Deseret News Publishing Company〕 Missionary work in Georgia resumed in 1878. The Southern States Mission headquarters was established in Rome (60 miles north of Atlanta). One early convert to the Church donated land and built a chapel at Mormon Springs in Haralson County. 〔 Missionaries were initially treated well upon their return to the South, but before long their success led to violent opposition. On July 21 1879, Elder Joseph Standing was killed by a mob near Varnell's Station. His companion escaped serious injury. Unable to secure protection for missionaries, the church pulled out all missionaries in Georgia for the next decade. in 1889, a small group of members left to go west by Train.〔''(History of the Church:Transitions: Early-Twentieth-Century Period )''.BYU Studies.Retrieved 24 Jan 2008〕 Missionaries returned to Georgia in 1899, but slowly and cautiously due to disease and persecution. Ohio was added to the Southern States mission at the request of President Ben E. Rich, so he would have a place where ill missionaries could recover.〔 In 1930, branches were located in Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon and Savannah. Sunday Schools had been established in Cedar Crossing, Douglas, Empire, Glenwood, Milledgeville, and Thomaston. That year, the state membership was 4,311.〔 LeGrand Richards, later a member of the Quorum of the Twelve, served as Southern States Mission mission president from 1934 to 1937, and wrote the outline for ''A Marvelous Work and a Wonder'' while in Atlanta.〔Lucille C. Tate, ("LeGrand Richards: A Marvelous Work and a Wonder" ), ''Tambuli'', February 1983.〕 In 1957, the Atlanta Stake was created, taking the northern two-thirds of the state with 3,000 members with wards in Atlanta (2), Columbus, Macon, and Empire. Branches for the stake was located in Buchanan, Athens, Gibson, Milledgeville, and Palmetto. The remainder of the state was covered by the Georgia-Florida and South Georgia districts.〔("William L. Nicholls to Preside over New Atlanta Stake" ), ''Church News'', May 11, 1957.〕
