LDS Church Growth: Temple Districts and Stakes
Stakes and districts of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can be found in various locations around the world. The function of a district is similar to that of a stake and is organized when there are not enough members to organize a stake. The relationship of a district to a stake is analogous to the relationship between a ward and a branch. Once the membership in a district achieves sufficient numbers, it may be reorganized as a stake.
