Thirteen divisions, one ledger.

Every world division, ranked by 2024 membership. Five-year growth is annualised, so a division that doubled once does not read the same as one that compounds.

Adventist membership by world division, 2024, with year-on-year and five-year annualised growth and share of world membership.
