History
= Pohnpei

Missionary work on Pohnpei Island began on 23 October 1976, when George L. Mortensen and Aldric Porter arrived. These missionaries were sent under request of Ohren R. Ohry who had joined the church while at BYU-Hawaii. The first baptisms on the island were on March 5, 1977 when Ohry’s wife, Rihne, other family members, along with Siesero Salomon were baptized in the village of Mand. Naped S. Elias and his family, along with Perden Samson, were baptized in Kolonia a week later, on March 12, 1977. The Mand and Kolonia Pohnpei branches were created shortly thereafter. Originally, missionaries served as branch presidents, then with native leaders–Naped Elias as president of the Kolonia Branch and Johnny Bridge as president of the Mand Branch. The branches were initially in the Guam District. A third branch was created in Sapwalap in December 1977, and three meetinghouses were built between October 1980 and September 1981 in Sapwalap, Mand, and Kolonia. The Truk-Pohnpei District was created on 31 May 1981. On November 22, 1985, the district was divided and the Truk and Pohnpei districts were created. In 1990, membership was 464. In late 1993, 18 young women in the Pohnpei District held their first camp on the island of Madolenihmn. The Panasang Pohnpei Stake was created on March 16, 2014.
The Book of Mormon was translated into Pohnpeian in 1987.
On April 18, 2012, the church donated five sewing machines, three fishing spears, goggles, fins, snorkels and underwater lights as a humanitarian donation to the Ohwa International Christian Academy in its efforts to teach self-reliance to its students. The fishing supplies were donated to augment a previous church donation of a boat, outboard engine and fishing nets to the school that has helped provide fish for the students for several years. On October 16, the church donated 2,000 reusable face masks to the Sokehs Municipality Schools in Pohnpei, which were distributed the following week to 1,000 students.

The Truk Branch (later Mwan Branch) was created on July 26, 1979. By 1980, membership reached 170, and on 31 May 1981, the Truk-Pohnpei District was created. On April 24, 1983, the first meetinghouse on Chuuk was dedicated. The Truk-Pohnpei District was divided in 1985 and the Truk (later renamed the Namonuito Chuuk District) and Pohnpei districts were created.
In 2010, the church donated a desalination unit to the people of Chuuk that is capable of producing 26,000 gallons of water per day.

The first Kosraean to be baptized was Isidro Abraham on April 26, 1986. The Lelu Branch was organized on June 18, 1986. A second branch was created in Utwe in 1988. The Kosrae Micronesia District was created on March 14, 1990. The first seminary graduation took place on 1 August 1990.

There are 365 members between these two branches.
Since 2018, the LDS Church has partnered with the Lelu Farmers Association on Kosrae to build family greenhouses and to provide grow bags and soil amendments to the recipients.
