History



On March 4, 1994, the LDS Church received legal recognition by the government of Cambodia. The first branch was organized later that year in Phnom Penh.




Stakes and Districts



As of June 2023, the following stakes and districts existed in Cambodia:

All congregations in a district are considered branches, regardless of size (wards only exist in stakes). The Cambodia Phnom Penh Mission Branch is not part of a stake or district, and serves individuals and families not in proximity to a church meetinghouse.




Missions


When the Church was introduced in 1994, Cambodia was part of the Thailand Bangkok Mission. This mission was divided in July 1998 to form the Cambodia Phnom Penh Mission. This mission initially also included Vietnam until the mission was divided again to create the Vietnam Hanoi Mission in July 2016.
The Cambodia Phnom Penh Mission mission boundaries is the same as the country's boundaries. The mission office is located in a meetinghouse at Building 2B Street 222 in Phnom Penh. In June 2024, the mission split into Cambodia Phnom Penh East and West Missions.




Temples


Cambodia was part of the Hong Kong China Temple district until the completion of the Bangkok Thailand Temple in 2023. The Phnom Penh Cambodia Temple was announced on October 7, 2018, by Church President Russell M. Nelson. Groundbreaking was held September 18, 2021.
